| Ben Fay and his dad work on a piece of artwork to celebrate the spirit of animals in our lives. |
May 3, 2011 -
St. Raphael students in Mrs. DeAngelis' Life Skills class honoured the pets in their lives on Monday, May 2nd as part of their Catholic Education Week activities. The students have been studying animals all year and putting on a play for their parents was their culminating activity.
The students then worked with their parents and relatives to complete artwork to celebrate the animals in their world.
Thank you for the animals in our lives - like cats and dogs and goldfish - are wonderful pets whom we love. Some - like cows and sheep and chickens - provide us with food and clothing. Some work for us, some scare us, some love us, some entertain us and some amaze us, but they all enrich our lives. May we always love and protect them as Saint Francis of Assisi did. Amen
