Congé 2016!

Today was a surprise Congé!

What is Congé?  Sister Wachter told us in a recent email that "It is technically defined as "a formal permission to depart," at Sacred Heart schools all over the world, Congé is a departure from routine in order to play and celebrate community.  Joy and celebration echoed through our halls."

Activities started at 9:30 and continued after lunch and ended with a student teacher basketball game.
