The fifth graders explored the concept, gleaned from
Winnie the Pooh and friends, that “A Friend Is the Nicest
Thing That You Have,” the theme of their Class Retreat on
August 31.
With assistance from members of the High School Living In
Faith Experience (LIFE) team and Sr. Katherine Francis
Miller, '57, ss.cc., who organized the day, the 42 fifth graders delved into all things
related to “friendship,” including how to bring out the qualities
each appreciates in her friends. They also explored the individual
characteristics needed to be a good friend to others.
To reinforce these concepts, the students participated in activities
that required them to work together and support one another
to reach the end goal.
This was the first Class Retreat experience for the students,
and they enjoyed building their friendships with peers and being
“mentored” by the LIFE team.

"When life gives you lemons..."
The Academy's Senior Class women learned to complete this
phrase as they spent their final overnight retreat at St. Anthony Retreat Center
on April 23 to 24. The 120 young women enjoyed quality time with one another
thanking God for the blessings of the past years, rejoicing in the present and
looking forward to the adventures beyond high school.
Senior advisor, Leilani
Asuncion Tagupa, '91 and the retreat team led by Sr. Katherine Francis Miller, '57, prepared a memorable slate of activities to
assure each young woman of her special place in the hearts and minds of her
peers, her teachers, and all who shared life with her at the Academy. The
blessings of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary be on each one!
