Serving our Dear Neighbor

Elizabeth E., Green Tie ‘21 is #belleoftheweek! Elizabeth consistently arrives to Choir class on time, fully prepared, and with a cheerful attitude that inspires everyone in the room. While writing college applications, Elizabeth mixed the class Halloween video, "Monster Mash," on which she also sings. Listen for her clear, soprano voice at the very end of the video! #smabelles #bellepride

Belles, what are you doing for election self-care? If you're feeling distressed about the upcoming election, we are here to remind you to give yourself time to practice some of these self-care tips.

Today is #ElectionDay. To prep for today, US History students completed an online quiz on www.isidewith.com. Students answered questions based on their beliefs. The results align them with the 2020 Presidential candidate that best aligns with their beliefs. Students were taught the importance of research and the process of voting in order for them to exercise their right to vote in the near future. #smabelles #vote Let us pray together today- Lord, let us calm our hearts and minds and trust in You. We pray for peace in our country and to show love and kindness to one another during such a time of division. Bless this Election Day, Lord. Amen

Today, we commemorate all of the departed faithful brothers and sisters. Whoever you celebrate and honor today, know that they are in great care under the loving hands of our Lord.

They wowed their virtual science classes with some experiments for Ariana Grande's first day of work at In N Out! #smabelles #sciencelab See more

It's never too early to get SpOoKy in October! Student Leadership Council hosted a Halloween Hangout this afternoon In addition to Halloween Trivia, we had a virtual costume contest where students and faculty/staff could submit photos of themselves in any costume of their choice, past or present!

Honorable mention goes to Ms. Angel, who showed up to the hangout as the Mayor of Flavortown himself, Guy Fieri Have a safe and Happy Halloween, Belles! #smabelles
