Dear Family:
It has been awhile...and even though Daddy and Mama have included updates in the weekly letter about our activities,
I felt I should catch you up - especially since I have the
privilege of reading/hearing your news as it comes to 7227.
Graduation from OLP is full of celebrations and traditions. Beth Barrere, the 8th grade teacher makes the whole year into a rite of passage. It's all a mystery until you live through it!
Here is Lucie, the first of her class to arrive for May Crowning:
There was lots and LOTS of picture taking because everyone had their very important clothes on. Then there was a beautiful all-school Mass which is when everyone brings a flower to the altar as a gift
to Mary - to crown her Queen of the May. The graduating 8th graders each bring up a white rose and they put it on the altar. Mama and Daddy were there, and it was a very special occasion for all of us. We had a special surprise because Lucie didn't tell us she was going to read the passage from Revelations - she did VERY well!
Then there was a lovely luncheon - they sure know how to do things up grand at OLP! Here are some more pictures if I can manage to make this thing work!
Lots of love,
