Celebrating the 100th Day of School!



Celebrating the 100th Day of School


The first and third grade classes were very excited to work together to celebrate the 100th day of school! The third graders helped the first graders paint 100 gumballs onto 10 gumball machine.
After they cleaned up from painting, the students collaborated on a book titled, "My 100's Book."  Learning is so much fun when the older students are able to assist the younger students with spelling, grammar, and handwriting.

Sisters of Charity receive MLK Humanitarian Award

On January 15th, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth were designated as a recipient of the Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award. This award is given annually to community members who have "given freely from their hearts to others, given of their time, talent and energy to meet unmet needs, stir hope, speak for the voiceless and build a better world, if for just one person at a time." The recipients all help to advance Dr. King's dream of an equal chance for all persons to build a better life.

The SCL's were recognized for the monumental impact they have made in the city of Denver, and for the legacy they will leave here for years to come. Specifically, the work they have done to establish St. Joseph's Hospital, Mt. St. Vincent's Home, Seeds of Hope, and Annunciation Catholic School.

We are blessed to have the legacy of the SCL's here at Annunciation. It is our hope that our students and families still feel their loving presence within our school community.
