ST. MAX PARISH SCHOOL NEWS
8th Grade Team Building
St. Max Parish School’s eighth grade class went on their traditional class trip to Paradise Farm Camps in Downingtown. The students participated in a special team building program. During the course of the day, students were asked to work together in large and small groups “to overcome challenges that can only be solved through cooperation and communication.” In addition to being fun, the group problem solving techniques are very beneficial.
Winter Garden The 7th grade class, under the direction of science teacher Mrs. Mary Riccardo, has been busy in the school garden. The 7th grade students are the stewards of the garden, learning how to prepare, plant and take care of the plants. Students planted the winter crop consisting of garlic, carrots, beets, radishes, spinach and lettuce. The harvested vegetables from this garden go to the St. Agnes Day Room. To learn more about our school contact us at: 610-399-8400 or school.stmax.org Find us on Facebook : www.facebook.com/St.Maximiliam Kolbe School.

Aid For Friends needs helpers to deliver meals to our isolated, homebound neighbors. It is just a one-on-one friendly visit with a weeks worth of meals to one of the local homebound.

“Now, with gratitude for all we have received, and with confident assurance in all our needs, let us turn to Mary, our Blessed Mother. With a mother’s love, may she intercede for the growth of the Church in America in prophetic witness to the power of her Son’s Cross to bring joy, hope, and strength into our world. I pray for each of you, and I ask you, please, to pray for me.” - Pope Francis, World Meeting of Families 2015
