Personal Narrative: Our Lady Of Fatima School

Decent Essays
apologize for the lack of communication these past few weeks. There have been two occasions in which Our Lady of Fatima School was prepared to announce a location, only to have circumstances beyond our control nix the deals at the last moment. It was important to be measured in our approach, and obtaining a location before fundraising was always our plan. We wanted people to know that their money was going towards a school rather than an idea of a school. The same is true for enrollment. We needed people to know there was a place they could send their kids, not merely the promise of one.

Tomorrow night, the Our Lady of Fatima School will discuss a Lansing location, deciding whether we should move forward with a lease agreement for the

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active.

    One of the most meaningful communities I’m a part of is my Castro Elementary school community, where I volunteer as a math tutor for at-risk elementary school students as part of the Buddies4Math program. Every Friday after school, I bike over from my high school to Castro, mentally bracing myself for the rowdy grade-schoolers that eagerly await me. As a math tutor, I help teach and explain concepts to my students through various math games and activities. Initially, I had wanted to teach younger students since I felt obligated to do so. My teachers have passed down so much enlightening knowledge to me, and I felt that I had a similar responsibility to disseminate knowledge, particularly to these at-risk elementary school students who haven’t…

    Chris, I always find your writing so evocative and thought provolking. Similar to your experiences with religion, I was brought up Christian (Roman Catholic to be exact). From Kindergarten to sixth grade, I was educated in a Moravian church related school. Every Wednesday, all students at Moravian Academy were required to wear navy blazers and khaki pants to the church service which was so foreign to what I was used to in a Roman Catholic mass. Once I transfered to a Catholic day school closer to my house, monthly, manditory masses were held in my school's auditorium.…
