Happy Halloween! Today we celebrated by dressing up and watching a Halloween movie complete with popcorn and snacks! The kids and staff had a blast creating group costumes among their friends such as the Minions, Holes characters and the tacky tourists! Did you know? Halloween has Catholic roots! The name comes from ‘All Hallow’s Eve’, as it is the Vigil of All Saints’ Day! #soarlikeaneagle #StElizabethReese #iAmWonderfullyMade #CatholicSchoolDifference #OurCatholicSchools #halloween2024 #allhallowseve

Dress up day for Spirit Week today is Dress Like a Teacher for the students and Dress Like a Student for the teachers. We had so much fun with this one! There were a lot of "Mrs. Lamb" imitators, a few of "Ms. Susalla" and "Ms. LaClair," some of the boys were "Mr. Parks" and one of the littles was even "Mrs. Ellison!" The staff were a mix of casual day dressed students and some were uniform dressed students. Overall, it was fun and put a smile on everyone's face which is the purpose. #soarlikeaneagle #StElizabethReese #iAmWonderfullyMade #spiritweek #dresslikeateacher #dresslikeastudent #OurCatholicSchools #CatholicSchoolDifference

The #StElizabethReese students have sent their decorated pumpkins off to be part of the Tuscola County Pumpkin Festival over the weekend. This year's theme was "Show Your Spirit Tuscola County" and some of our students used that as the basis for their design. Others went with Most Original, Funniest or Scariest. They did such an amazing job! If you want to see their creations, they are in front of the Tuscola County Courthouse steps. We are so proud of our #Eagles! #soarlikeaneagle #iAmWonderfullyMade #OurCatholicSchools #CatholicSchoolDifference #pumpkindecorating #contest #pumpkinfestival

Have you ever been to an apple orchard? The K-2 class was able to go to Leaman's Green Applebarn for a field trip today to continue learning about apples. They learned about the apple sorting machine, the cider press, how apples are grown and taken care of in all 4 seasons and they even were able to pick their own apple! They also enjoyed seeing the goats, chickens, horse and donkey and playing on the expansive playground for a little while. Everyone enjoyed lunch on the farm before they came back to school. Thank you to our guide, Elizabeth, for a wonderful experience the students and parents won't forget for a while! #soarlikeaneagle #iAmWonderfullyMade #StElizabethReese #OurCatholicSchools #CatholicSchoolDifference #appleseason #appleorchard #AppleCider #fieldtripfun
