"Play Nice. Win Nice. Lose Nice."
Benedict House did just that on Friday during our "Chicken Baseball" competition. Cheering for each other, cheering for other houses and taking a knee when a player got hurt...they won bonus points and the first ever "Play Nice. Win Nice. Lose Nice." award. Quite a display of sportsmanship!
St. Benedict, pray for us.

“It is not enough to love the young; they must know that they are loved' - St John Bosco
Eighth-grade homeroom and middle school writing teacher Mrs. Jessica Jones instructs her students on more than grammar. She has a way of building confidence so they find their voice as writers. How does she do it? She listens to them, loves them, and supports them beyond the classroom.
When these students were in 8th grade, she would attend their sporting events. Now two of the students, Frankie Menghini-8 and Alec Jett-88, are "Fab Bros Detailing. Mrs. Jones is still supporting them as a loving former teacher AND satisfied customer.
