PD Private School News

Twas a great day for the Irish and the “Irish for a Day” at Holy Rosary School. The first grade almost caught a leprechaun. With the help of Mrs. Gedrich’s dad, who built their “leprechaun catcher” they set a trap, complete with a pot of gold to lure the little green man. When they arrived at school on St. Patrick’s Day, they found their gold gone, with nothing left in the trap but a tiny boot and a note: “I got your loot, and you got my boot, but you’ll never catch a leprechaun!”

Little Flowers Serve the Poor

The Little Flower Club and their moderators Chris Mazaleski and Theresa Koviak celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by offering smiling “Irish eyes” to those in need. They made centerpieces for the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner hosted by the Friends of the Poor at the St. Mary’s Center in Scranton.

Three of the Little Flowers: Hannah Ferenchick, Kalley Kovaleski, and Julie Mazaleski delivered and set up the centerpieces and helped to serve dinner. They also provided some entertainment, dancing an Irish Jig that Mr. Tighe had taught them in music class. They were the hit of the party.
