A family picture to reminder Devin's special night.  We are so very proud of all Devin's hard work throughout the school year.  It hasn't always been easy and they expect a lot out of each student, but he rose to the challenge.

First Reconciliation

Devin and his 2nd grade class at St James had their First Reconciliation this evening. You could see all their excitement in their smiles and expressions. It's reassuring that these children can have so much love for God and their religion. Father Betz, Sister Erma, and Mrs Luth have all been amazing role models to our children.  Father Betz presented each student with their own First Communion Bible and Scapular. Devin is one step closer to completing his First Communion in May. Such an important time in his and our faith journey. 

Spelling B.e.e

Devin at the St James Spelling Bee. He was one of 3 students from his class that continued on from their class spelling bee. Devin made it 3 rounds before missing the word "skirt". We ended up being 2nd place in 2nd grade. 

Devin with his spelling bee certificate.  He was very proud of himself.  He was very unsure of how we would do at the spelling bee.  He surprised himself with how well he did.  Mom and Dad are proud of him as well!

Great job Devin!
