Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, Santa Barbara, CA

Today we celebrated a mass of thanksgiving on the field with our middle school students. It was a good time to reflect upon how we can live lives of gratitude. #lancerspray #lancerstrong #communityfaithacademics

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson #CommunityFaithAcademics

Learning about camouflage, our first graders colored and hid their own moths around the classroom. #lancersexplore #olmcscientists #communityfaithacademics #catholicschoolpride

It’s great to see our students engaging and sharing ideas in person like these 8th graders working in their literature circle group. #learningcontinues #lancersachieve #communityfaithacademics

What’s scarier than Halloween being right around the corner? Finding this giant potato bug! The best teacher reaction came from Miss Durtche! #eek #grossbugs

Ever wonder how to make an old penny shiny again? Our 5th graders are exploring just that in science, testing a variety of substances. Hand sanitizer and even applesauce made the test list this year! #lancersexplore #olmcscientists #communityfaithacademics
