Change of location for this week's PTO meeting!
The class of 2023 is working on a service project for Native Americans living in the Dakotas. They are knitting hats, blankets and scarves for their very cold winters up north using looms. Señora Bailey gave instructions in Spanish and the soon-to-be graduates have been working during part of religion classes. A gentleman from Roseville, Illinois regularly takes supplies to the reservation throughout the year and will take the senior's wares when they are complete. Yarn was donated by Notre Dame Art Dept and the Flying Hooks and Needles Knit and Crochet Club from Stronghurst, lL.
We had some fun today in preschool exploring rainbow reactions. We predicted what 2 substances we were using and watched as they reacted. We also discussed the color order of the rainbow. We just loved their excitement!
Please plan on attending. We would love your input!

Sophomore Pilgrimage! Our last stop before lunch was the Venerable Fulton Sheen museum, a short walk from the Cathedral. Sister Lea and Sister Anne imparted facts about the soon to be Saint and the students walked around the museum getting to know him better through his many artifacts.
This is the fourth year Burlington Notre Dame has made this trip to Peoria and it is always a favorite memory of the students (and teachers!). Venerable Fulton Sheen, pray for us!
Sophomore Pilgrimage! Our fifth stop was at St Mary's Cathedral. We said the last decade of the Rosary in the St Thomas Aquinas Reliquiary chapel where we saw a relic of the True Cross. We visited and prayed at the tomb of Venerable Fulton Sheen and got to see a relic of St Mother Teresa.
Sophomore Pilgrimage! Our fourth stop was Sacred Heart in downtown Peoria. There were several people inside praying, so we took time to be silent with God.
Sophomore Pilgrimage! The third stop on our pilgrimage was St Joseph's, the oldest Catholic church in Peoria. The woodwork! So beautiful. We prayed the third decade of the Rosary along with prayer intentions. Such blessings the students are experiencing.
Sophomore pilgrimage! Second stop... St Mark's on Bradley U Campus. Amazing story! Please ask these students about the billboard painter! Another blessing... God is so very good!
