Unveiling the Legacy of Saint Patrick: A Journey of Faith and Cultural Celebration.
Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, lived in the 5th century. Kidnapped by raiders as a teenager, he was taken to Ireland as a slave. During his captivity, he found solace in Christianity.
Patrick famously used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. His efforts played a significant role in the Christianization of Ireland, and he is celebrated on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day.
Read Across America Week
Reading across America week starts March 2nd and continues until March 6th. This week encourages students to take time to read and foster the love of reading.
Read Across America is for all grade levels (and subject areas) and it can focus on any author. The point is to get kids excited about reading. If I can support you with ideas or resources, please let me know. Thank you for helping our kiddos grow their passion for reading!!! Happy reading! 🙂❤️
