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!

Beware the Ides of Form I

In Form I Social Studies, fifth graders were introduced to the life of Julius Caesar. Three students claimed to be the real Caesar, but only one was telling the truth. The other two were imposters. Using clues from each presentation, the rest of the class had to decide who was authentic.

Clean Water Supplies

Students in Forms VI and VII packed clean water supplies, including water bottles and iodine tablets, along with hygiene products such as soap and hand sanitizer, to be sent to communities around the world where access to clean water is limited.
