"do good and try your best"

This past Friday (September 23) St. Christopher had their annual 4th, 5th and 6th grade Charity Kickball game.  Each year the Student Council decides what charity we will be playing for and money is raised by charging everyone a dollar to be out of uniform (we Catholic kids LOVE to be out of uniform!)  This year the Student Council chose Breast Cancer as their charity and the over $400 went to the Susan G Komen Foundation.  The lower grades do their part by cheering on the teams (kind of!) and generally just enjoying the afternoon out of class.  I loved this sign that Lauren Mertz made because it says EVERYTHING about who we are as a school and church community.  She didn't say anything about stomping the opposition or making fun of anyone on a different team than the white team her brother was playing for.  That's who she is and who we all should be...do good and try your best...a life's lesson for all and taught by a first grader!  Well done Lauren!

Justin was playing for the white team?!?).
