In Memory of Mr. Carter

A new angel has arrived in heaven. Mr. Carter, beloved music teacher at St. Ethelreda, passed away on Friday February 22, 2008. Mr. Carter was music teacher at St. Ethelreda for 14 years.

Principal Spells notes of Mr. Carter:

"We will truly miss Mr. Carter and the gift that God gave him to arrange, compose and direct songs and programs for us. For fourteen years he shared his talent with us through Christmas plays, Black History programs, the Passion Play, family and weekday Masses, choir and general music classes. Today the students shared their fondest memories with each other as they remembered Mr. Carter in their own special way."

Services for Mr. Carter will be held Wednesday February 27, 2008 at Holy Name of Mary Church, 11159 S. Loomis. The visitation will be from 5:30-7:00 pm. The funeral Mass will start at 7:00. Students attending the services are asked to wear their school uniforms.

God bless Mr. Carter, and our prayers to his family.

Please also send your prayers to Principal Spells and her family as well, with the passing Friday of her mother-in-law, Martha Ann Spells. She has also joined the choir of angels.

Spotlight Class: Kindergarten!

Today's Spotlight Class is the wonderful Kindergarten class at St. Ethelreda.

Spotlight Class: Kindergarten!

Kindergarten is taught by Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Boatman. The class today featured the letter "B"... as found in words like "bird" or "bug" or "Bill". We also were fortunate to catch the students completing a handwriting assignment. The penmanship was great; these are outstanding kids!

Thank you to Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Boatman and the outstanding kids in Kindergarten at St. Ethelreda... our Spotlight Class!
