The day after Halloween is known as All Saint's Day, a day to celebrate all the Saint's. Every year at Borromeo, the first graders dress up as a Saint for Mass and learn about all the different Saints. This year is just so happened to land on the day after Halloween because of the days off for fall break (usually the day after Halloween is always a day off for Catholic schools and apparently this is the first time as far as most remember that the kids had school the day after Halloween). It was hard for Adriana to find a Saint that she wanted to be. We tried to find a female saint over animals, but unfortunately the only saints over animals were males. So then we went to her name. No saints for Adriana but there were plenty of Saint Rose's. Then to decide which St. Rose. After reading about all of them Adriana finally decided to be St. Rose of Lima. St. Rose of Lima was actually named Isabelle but because of her beauty they called her Rose. Rose did not like that everyone loved her for her beauty and tried to make herself as ugly as she could. She devoted herself to Jesus and would never marry. There is a lot more to her but I'm not going to post it all on here.
So anyway, here is Adriana dressed up as St. Rose of Lima!
Here is Adriana walking down the aisle. We were stuck in the middle of the row so it wasn't the best shot of her.
Adriana and her friend Janet.
Adriana and her friend Charlize.
And here is a few shots of the whole first grade class dressed up! In the back is Adriana's teacher Mrs. Santel, Mrs. Burns (1st grade helper), Father John, the school principal Mrs. Hoffman, the other first grade teacher Mrs. Leonard, and Mrs. Hepperman (1st grade helper).
It was so cute to see all the little kids dressed up and how excited they all were to talk about their saint. If I haven't mentioned it enough, I really love this age with these kids. They are all so sweet and innocent and just so full of love for life! Way to go first graders!
