Last night, my school kicked off Catholic Schools Week with our annual faculty/8th grade basketball game. As defending champions, we (the teachers) were up for the challenge. (Personally, I hadn't touched a basketball since the same game last year, but I didn't play much, so it all worked out. Because when I say that I played, I use that term very loosely.) And we ended up pulling ahead for a victory by 2 points. Surprisingly, most of the students were on our side, so it was fun to have them there and cheering in such large numbers. They really are great kids...
I'm looking forward to our celebration of National Catholic Schools Week, complete with grandparents' day, academic activities, a service project, appreciation days, Mass, and more!

"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
