Cistercian Visit to Notre Dame School of Dallas

November 8, 2018 | Media

On Friday, October 26, just hours before the last home football game of the season, many Cistercian freshman traveled with Ms. Kennedy, Br. Francis and Fr. John to Notre Dame School of Dallas to join their students for their Halloween dance. Notre Dame School is a very special school educating children and young adults with special needs. We were honored to be invited to their dance! Cistercian students brought snacks (goldfish and pretzels) and prepared a limbo stick for the event. Many students from Notre Dame wore costume hats that they had made. Together students from both schools enjoyed meeting each other and dancing to everything from Michael Jackson’s Thriller to the “Chicken Dance” and much more. We look forward to planning another dance together, which will likely be hosted at Cistercian in the spring!

Blessing of the animals
