Traditionally, we are organizing a Christmas Eve dinner for kids and we play the role of the Holy Child. Every year in January we organize a Pizza Festival, when everyone has a pizza just for themselves! We set a table for the Easter breakfast and take care of the symbolic Bunny. We are with kids during their communion ceremonies and during summer trips. We try to ensure that every student gets something colored to the school backpack in September.
