Good evening Mary of Nazareth faculty, fellow classmates, and families. When I first stepped into this school ten years ago, my life changed in many ways. It was changed spiritually, academically, and socially. I made many memories throughout the years I have been here. I have made many friends and I will never forget them. This school has been my family since preschool. I will miss everyone next year as we all head into different high schools. This school has taught me valuable lessons that I will remember and make use of in the future. After being here for a long time, I had experienced many things others did not. Here are some of the experiences I had.
In our spiritual life, we have learned a lot about our faith. We learned many different prayers and we have also learned about the Church. We have attended many school masses and gotten to know other students better, like our prayer partners. Mary of Nazareth School has developed us into more religious people and has taught us right from wrong. We have also experienced the living rosary, Eucharist Day, and other religious days. We learned a lot on using respectful manners and how to treat others with kindness. This school has made me a better person in many ways and it will positively impact my life.

When I was in preschool, I was just learning how to write. Now, I am getting ready to graduate and move on to high school. This school has prepared me in many ways for high school and college. All of the teachers care for each and every one of the students and help the students understand the curriculum. Throughout my academic experience, I have made many memories with my fellow classmates. A memory that we will never forget is the competitive mad minutes in elementary school. Another memory that we will never forget is caleva. Everyone had so much fun and enjoyed it. We learned a lot about teamwork and trusting one another and that is the main thing about
“The sanctuary of school” by Lynda Barry Lynda Barry demonstrates her childhood experiences on the essay, “the sanctuary of school”, specifying how crucial schools are for children: especially neglected children like herself. Once, she walked alone to her school in a dark morning due to overwhelmed of parents’ financial issue conflicts. As she walked to the school, she gradually realized that the school was her home in which people were happy, felt nurture, and safe rather than her actual home, where Barry felt dejected. Furthermore, the author stated that school budgets cut is an issue for future children and students because the art, music, or before or after school activities program would be the first cut from the schools. These issues
Gerhard Lohfink, in his book, “Jesus of Nazareth” believes that Jesus’ person and ministry are intertwined, or actually one and of the same. After Lohfink clarifies the difference between the "reign of God" as distinct from the “Kingdom of God,” he asserts that in Jesus, there is this active, ongoing reign which is not only revealed, but is manifested in all He says and does. Lohfink states, that Jesus is “not just preaching about the reign of God, but He is announcing it,” going on to indicating that Jesus is manifesting this reign in His own self disclosure and the actions of His ministry. Jesus ways of teaching and interactions with others, is shown as compassionate, gentle, direct and personal, as well as definitive and bold. As we also find in Ch. 3, “All that is happening before everyone’s eyes. The reign of God is breaking forth in the midst of the world and not only within people.” (51) And for Lohfink, this is taking place in the actual preaching, actions and life of Jesus Christ. Simply, we are personally and collectively and actively a part of establishing this “reign” right here, right now. A “reign” of mercy, compassion, forgiveness, self-giving, sacrificial love, as well as of justice and peace.
I remember attending St. Mary’s open house when I was in fifth grade and instantly knew that it was something special. Unlike most people, I have the unique perspective of going to both a public school and a Catholic school. St. Mary is very different from my old school. Looking back at my time here, I realize that St.Mary is a much better fit for me. It is a better fit socially, academically, and spiritually.
Mary Tudor or Queen Mary I of England was infamously known as Bloody Mary. While many believe Bloody Mary was an evil monster, others believe she was a great queen because of her many accomplishments. Mary was actually a good devoted Catholic others still to this day believe she was an evil woman, but with these interesting facts it will be determined that Mary was a good queen.
...n a different way, each important in its own way. Russian school taught me how to read and write in Russian, which I am very grateful for. Sunday school taught me valuable lessons from the Bible that I will probably never forget. Each camp that I went to has left memories and lessons that I will remember, that will be helpful throughout my life. Wind ensemble and the teen’s choir have been a way to express my praise to God through music. Teen’s group and youth group have both shown me that socializing and being around other people in life is important to know people who you can rely on if you need help. These groups and activities have been an important part of my life starting from my childhood. I want to be a part of them forever because I feel they define who I am. They allow me to be a part of a special community, and to express my praise to God in all that I do.
Grace King's The Little Convent Girl is an excellent example of post-Civil War realism incorporating a trick-ending. In this local color short story, King methodically lures the reader into a false belief that her story is about an insignificant and nameless young girl who, after twelve years seclusion in a convent, is exposed to the fervor and excitement of a steamboat trip down the Mississippi River. The success of Ms. King's trick-ending is achieved through three basic elements; 1) de-emphasizing the importance of the main character, 2) tidbits of information followed by wordy misdirection, and 3) a false climax.
Mary is a nine year old student who is currently in third grade. She repeated kindergarten showing difficulties in memorizing her letters and their phonetic sounds. Unfortunately, having her go through the kindergarten curriculum for two years did not show substantial growth in her ability to put words together. Mary qualified for speech therapy in syntax construction by scoring in the low seventies demonstrating difficulty repeating and forming a sentence with given words. German & Newman (2007) found deficits in verbal language effects how a student will read orally. Furthermore, 50% of children with reading disabilities have a deficit in language-based reading, and phonic retrieval. Knowing this information, the classroom, teacher,
I had a good year in first grade. I became the best artist in the class. I started getting better at English. My first word was “bathroom.” I made two friends Michelle Sherman and Karen Calle. After that I started feeling better and actually liking this school. Everything felt better and worked out great!
Jacopo del Sellaio’s Virgin, Child, and St. John is a characteristically iconographic tempera panel painting of Madonna, the Christ Child, and the infant St. John from the early renaissance, dating to the early 1480s. Sellaio was a Florentine painter under the apprenticeship of Sandro Botticelli, which reflects through his style and symbolism in the painting. In this work, he depicts a classically devotional scene filled with biblical symbolism. Sellaio’s Virgin, Child, and St. John expresses Mary’s loving role as Christ’s mother, the protective power and warmth of her maternal bond, and the significance of the birth of Christ.
Mary is well known for being the mother of Jesus Christ, but Mary has a much larger purpose that is still active in this very moment and still in the future. I think that Mary is a loving, graceful person ever since she step foot on this earth for many reasons and the entire world changed after that and forever because she showed her presence and now I will give my personal opinion of her and what she does to make earth a better place.
Kathryn Jewell Assignment #1a: The Nun Study After reading the article, ‘Positive Emotions in Early Life and Longevity: Findings from the Nun Study,’ I was able to identify the purpose, the participants used, the research design, the procedure, the findings, the implications, the strengths, and, of course, the weaknesses within this particular study.

It's been great attending County Christian School. Where else do students walk into school at 7:55 and receive a cup of hot chocolate and a cookie? Then, after third period, Mr. Obrastoff combs our hair and sings to us. It really has been a delightful place to go to school.
When moving through the hallways, the teachers, aides and staff were all very friendly and helpful, making sure that I not only belonged to be there, but that I was able to find my way to the appropriate locations. Art lined the halls, and the sounds from the classrooms indicated that the children were exicited and engaged in their activies. I would feel most comfortable having children attend this school. It was a warm, safe and nurturing environment, where the individual was celebrated, and the community created.
The teachers of the school were very supportive, I loved them all. Being at school is very good in terms of dealing with different people. We were exposed very early to this world; where there are different attitudes and beliefs. I think having teachers with totally different minds has a role in our social intelligence development. I learned how to deal with people even if their beliefs, thoughts and styles do not meet mine.
I thought that the teachers did a nice job with their classroom set up. I felt like I could have kept myself busy all day just by looking at the walls and seeing the pictures of presidents and famous historic quotes by famous people of our nations past. One thing I really enjoyed was the time the teachers allotted me at the end of each class to reflect to the class. Not only throughout my past middle school, and high school experiences but also, and most importantly, my current college experiences, the temptations that I have had to endure have definitely been rewarding.
