Flat Stanley Project

Students create their own Flat Stanley to travel to a far away land to stay for a week with a host family to have his own adventures and then return to us in Connecticut so that we may learn all about a new place that is unfamiliar to us.

Mystery Reader

Second graders have a mystery reader come into the classroom to read each week after receiving a clue a day and trying to solve the mystery of who might be coming in for a special visit.

Star Student of the Week

Each week a student in second grade has the opportunity to shine in a unique way. The student of the week will be recognized with special letters written to them by classmates, share a read aloud, have a special lunch and lots more.

Book Buddies

Each Second Grader meets with his/her 7th Grade Book Buddy and will read and discuss books.  This allows the students the opportunity to develop a relationship with an older student in our school that will act as a mentor.

Sacrament of First Reconciliation

Students prepare and receive the Sacrament of First Reconciliation when God forgives the sins that are committed after Baptism.  It is at this time that they are reconciled with God and with others in the Church.

Sacrament of First Holy Communion

Students prepare and receive the Body and Blood of Jesus in Eucharist. The students celebrate the Eucharist as the center of our Christian life. They join with Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit to give thanks and praise to God the Father.

May Crowning Mass

 It has been a tradition for second grade students to lead this Mass while wearing their First Holy Communion outfits to school on this day. The students feel honored and are celebrated in a special way when they receive Holy Communion for the first time with our School Community.
