| "As you grow up, the differences or things that make you unique become what makes you cool. They are your superpowers!" (Cece Bell)
This past week, St. Michael's was honored and delighted to welcome best-selling author and 2015 Newbery Honor Award winner Cece Bell to our School! Ms. Bell captivated our students with the stories behind her acclaimed book, EL DEAFO. This graphic novel about a young girl who must wear a Phonic Ear (a bulky hearing aid), and her discovery of how it makes her wonderfully special, has been a student favorite at St M all year!

"A Barnyard Moosical"
Between the gourmet goats that refuse to eat garbage, a chorus line of hoofing cows, neatnik pigs and funky dancing chickens, our kindergarteners sure put on a hilarious and imaginative mini-musical on Friday about a unique and talented group of animals living in the barnyard. A BIG thank you to all the family volunteers who helped with costumes, set building and preparations, as well as to Mrs. Adams and Mr. Tickle for all their efforts to bring this production to the stage! What a fun MOOsical! (Check out our St. Michael's Facebook page for more photos and videos of the production!)

| Help Pack 10,000 Meals on Palm Sunday!
Stop Hunger Now: Sunday, March 29, 9:15 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Jesus' life and ministry showed God's care for the poor, and so St. Michael's Church is bringing the community together on a mission to end hunger. They are partnering with Stop Hunger Now, an international hunger relief agency, to pack nutritious meals that will be distributed to people in the world that need it most. The fun, hands-on, inter-generational, food packing mission will take place on Palm Sunday, March 29, between the services, 9:15-10:20 a.m., in Dundas-Hatcher and finish after the 10:30 service. At least 100 volunteers are needed to pack 10,000 meals. Register for this event here online. (This is a great community service project opportunity for our students and families.)
To learn more about Stop Hunger Now visit their website. For more details on this event, contact Mrs. Flemming or the outreach coordinator at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church.
