Can you believe it is already October? The last few days have certainly put the SPIRIT into our “Community for the Heart, Mind, and Spirit.” School Spirit abounds: Friday, we celebrated Orange Day in honor of our hometown SF Giants . (Look for Mr. Sinclair, the lone Padres fan in the photo above.) This morning was our Annual St. Francis’ Day Blessing of the Animals, and our front lawn was alive with children, dogs, parents, hamsters, a rogue guinea pig and even a stuffed Oregon duck! Today, we also christened the new basketball hoops, supported in part by the DSPA and Scrip cash cards. Finally, it’s Election Season in our Middle School too, and the halls are full of posters, stickers, and slogans. These activities build community, making St. Matthew’s a fun place to learn and ensuring that students feel included and inspired.
One month in, we pause for a breath – the root of the words inspire, spirit, and inspiration means to breathe – and we breathe in a spirit of surprise, satisfaction, and expectation.
