Guardian Angel School celebrated the feast of the Guardian Angels on Monday, October 2. Everyone enjoyed a free dress down day. In the afternoon, the archangel houses competed in house games.

The first game was "ready spaghetti". The participants had to carry an empty soda can with a spaghetti stick stuck through the can tab and held on each end by the mouths of the 2 students. There were 3 teams of 2 in each house. The cans, totaling 3, had to be stacked one on top of 2 cans.

The next game was "needle in a haystack". The 4 members per house had to each find a black colored piece of rice in a bowl of white rice using only tweezers to stir and pick it up.

The final game was "ping pong pyramid". Members had to bounce a ping pong ball into a plastic cup at the opposite end of the table. There were 6 cups and the 6 members had to get a ping pong in each cup.

Amelia Kyle stirs and stirs to find a black kernal of rice in the bowl. Teagan King, Victor Woods, & Aubrey Graviett, the other 3 participants from St. Gabriel's house in that game look on.

The overall winner was Gabriel and Michael and Raphael tied for 2nd place. After the games, everyone enjoyed an ice cream treat.

After school, at 6 pm, Father Joseph Kelly celebrated Mass at Guardian Angel Church in honor of the Guardian Angels. Once everyone had exited church at the end of Mass, Fr. Kelly blessed 2 angel statues that will be placed on either side of Mary at the front of Guardian Angel School amid the rose bushes. What a fitting celebration to celebrate our Guardian Angels.
