MARKETPLACE 2018
Our Lady of Lourdes had a fun and eventful Marketplace for our 2nd and
3rd graders! A special thank you to Melissa Clements for organizing this
event. Our graduates often come back to tell us that is one of their favorite
memories of our school.
Marketplace is a day where the 2nd and 3rd graders get to live in the time
when Jesus lived. They are first placed in one of the 12 Tribes of Israel and
then spend the day making and eating food, crafts, building projects, and
playing games of that time.
