We're recognizing Black History Month and the Feast Day of St. Josephine Bakhita, one of our Community Saints.
Saint Josephine Bakhita was born in a village of Sudan. When she was only 8 years old she was kidnapped and sold multiple times as a slave, until one owner turned her over to the Canossian Sisters, in Venice. In 2000, she was declared a saint.
St. Josephine Bakhita, pray for us.

The St. Michael girls swim team walked away with some hardware after their conference meet last weekend! These young ladies took 5th place overall, out of 21 teams, at the Independent League Championship meet. Avery received two 1st place medals in the 50 and 100 freestyle! The team also placed 2nd in the 200 Medley Relay and the 400 Free Relay! Ava, Amelia and Elsa all earned medals for top 8 finishes in their individual event.
Next stop, MSHSAA Swimming State Championship! Come show your support for the girls February 15 - 16 at the City of St. Peter Rec-Plex in St. Peters, Missouri.
The Engineering and Explorations students had an interesting class today! They were to build structures that prevent a raw egg from breaking when dropped from various heights.
"Some designs were better than others...the best ones were attentive to finding ways to reduce the terminal velocity of the egg, and/or finding ways to redirect the impact of the shock away from the egg upon landing. The creativity of the students in finding different ways to use the same materials was refreshing to see." - Fr. Paul Sappington

Today we celebrate our incredible students as part of Catholic Schools Week! The theme for today is "Anything but a Backpack" and our Guardians did not disappoint!
"St. Michael is a school that strives to live out its mission of calling students through a relationship with Jesus Christ--in the midst of a mixed-up world--to Know Truth, Love God, and Serve Others as His brave and humble disciples. We are privileged to have the community system where so many teachers and students devote their energy to providing experiences that allow other students to experience that they are known, seen, and loved especially by God and his Church." - Fr. Paul Sappington

What a way to kick off Catholic Schools Week! Thank you to The Guard for treating our students and staff to Chris Cakes pancakes for lunch on PJ Day!
