A report from St. Joseph School

Grade 7
UPLAND—At this period of time my school family is very excited. On October 31 of this year, Pope Francis declared Nano Nagle, the foundress of the Presentation Sisters, Venerable. My principal, Sister Mary Kelly, is a Presentation Sister. This event coincided with a project on Nano Nagle that my class was doing. We researched the life and work of Nano Nagle, prepared a handout for each grade, and we showed a video to the classes. The following week we put on a presentation about Nano Nagle, and I was honored by being able to play the role of Nano Nagle. Our project was a great success.
