     Welcome to another week of Chirho. Yesterday, the 8th graders had a retreat. The TCH Senior Campus Ministry came and put on the 8th grade retreat. They had a lot of laughs, tears, and hugging each other. "It was an emotional bonding," Mrs. Dee Dee, the religion teacher, said. The 8th graders said they had a really good time, and they cannot wait until the younger grades get to go through the same experience. The 6th had a tour of the retreat house at Our Lady of the Oaks. Tomorrow, the junior will be joining in a gratitude rosary. Join us next week for more information.

        We're back! Welcome to another week of Chi rho. Last week was Red Ribbon Week, everyday we had a different theme. On Monday, the students wore pj's to put drugs to sleep. On Tuesdays, the students wore jerseys because All-Stars stay away from drugs. One Thursday, the students wore mix match clothes, because we don't get mixed up with drugs. On Friday, we wore red, white, and blue because we voted to stay away from drugs. Join us next week because we will be reporting again.

      Welcome to another week of Chi rho. Every year as a tradition, the 8th graders build a balloon rosary and say the rosary for Breast Cancer. This week, the 8th grade girls spent their time on Wednesday to make the rosary balloon. The 8th grade boys said the rosary, while the girls held the balloons. After the rosary was finished, the girls let go of the balloons into the sky. Join us next week for another week of reporting.

Bible Verse of the Week

"You are God's chosen people. Always be ready to care for others, and be kind and gentle. Be patient and calm and never boast about or be proud of your goodness. Just as God always forgives you, so you must always be forgiving towards others. Fill your hearts with love, and whatever you do, do it for God."
