“In this year of school, we have had many privileges.  First of all, we have had D.A.R.E.
It was a very fun and important way of teaching us about the dangers of drugs.
We all enjoyed Camp Christopher, too.
We are very thankful that we had a good time, lots of fun, and had no one get hurt.
It has been a pleasure to work with the 6th graders in ‘club’.
We have had great teachers, especially Mr. Horning,
that make sure we understand what we learn, along with trying to teach us more and more.
We have been able to learn all of  this in the best setting of all: a Catholic School.
Our 5th grade class had lots of fun, and wonderful memories this year at Saint Martha.”

We are thankful for the peace and togetherness that our class has established in the 2000-2001 school year.
We are thankful for Mrs. B and Mrs. D for being there for us even through their pregnancies.
We wish luck to all the teachers, students,
Sr. Eileen and [the] graduating 8th grade who are leaving; that their journey will be in the light of the Lord.”

From what they have shared, it is evident that the gift of wisdom
that God blesses us with is not necessarily
something that is tied directly to age – but an act of grace by God!
