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.
After two weeks, the first graders let the butterflies go. While they were sad to see them fly away, they were excited to have had them as part of their class!
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.
