A multicultural arena of contrasts -- rich/poor? -- land barons/peasants? --
This is a difficult area of the world to cover, but the world tour would be incomplete without it!
Our choices are many:
Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Sarajevo, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Yugoslavia, Voyvodina, Moldavia, Montenegro, Armenia, Belarus, Chechnya, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine.
Along with our child wellness and
nutrition program, your homeroom teachers and HSA room parents will be helping to restructure the way we celebrate birthdays and holidays.
Our sacrament of Eurcharistis after all, the breaking of the transformed bread.
Yes, a carbohydrate was chosen by Christ to be transubstantiated into His very body. So, carbohydtares are a wonderful thing. Family
meals are important, classroom celebrations a tradition, but when did all this sharing become: soda, cookies, candies, cake, etc. and foods
of minimal nutritional value, all at the same time? Cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, veggies and dip are a fun way to celebrate also.
There are many choices and we need to reinvent our eating styles so they are healthier and varied.
My dad, a physician for more than 50 years, always said, "foods are good in moderation, portion control is a healthy control!" I believe,
father does know best! Perhaps, fruit and a cookie would be pleasant and healthier? Each teacher will discuss class needs with
families on "Back To School Night." This way all dietary concerns and age-appropriate enjoyment is taken into consideration.
Keep it smple! Keep it healthful! THANKS.
Skating - a wonderful pastime
However, please, for safety reasons, do NOT send your child/ren to school with wheeled sneakers.

Composition at Our Lady of Sorrows, South Orange, NJ.
We have "great expectations" for a faith-filled relationship with Mrs. Picinich!
WELCOME!
