Working at a Catholic school is great. The elementary school has Mass every Thursday and the middle/high school has Mass every Tuesday and at least once a month we come together and have a full campus Mass. Those are the Masses I really enjoy because all of us are gathered together in one room, preschoolers all the way up to seniors in high school. It is so great to see the little kids look up to the older ones and it is equally great to see the older kids look at the younger ones and influence them in a good way. Mason is in Kindergarten so he has a 6th grade "buddy" that sits with him at Mass every week to help him learn how to behave during Mass. He LOVES his buddy A.J..
The best part about the Mass at school is that every so often I get to watch my kids participate. Mindy has been a reader and has done songs with her class. This was Mason's first year to really get to participate and he was chosen as one of the gift carriers in our Catholic Schools Week Mass. Since this was a special Mass there were things other than the usual gifts that were brought to the front. He and his co-kindergartener Criss were chosen to represent service to our community so they carried food and a towel. He was extremely nervous but doesn't he look cute?
