[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is part of the reason why we are in a Catholic school. I heard that saying God bless you when someone sneezes is no longer acceptable. [/quote]

You should definitely stay in Catholic school (from a Catholic). Watched. Wonderful 2nd grade holiday show today where they sang about all the major holidays.  So refreshing for a school not to shy away from religion. And yes, DCPS school. [/quote]

I was there too -- two of the many adorable songs brought tears to my eyes: "My friend's family celebrates Ramadan" (really captures the nonchalance and respect of diversity among our kids) and "Innkeeper" (a beautiful song of inclusiveness, pleading for someone to let Mary in). "December in Our Town" is a great tradition at our school, celebrating the spirit of the season and the diversity of our families. The kids were so poised and cute. Great job teachers! [/quote]

PP here. So glad I wasn't the only teary one. I grew up in Catholic school and had no idea about other holidays. I love that my kids get to spend time at school leading about what their friends are celebrating. The 2nd grade team did an awesome job. [/quote]
