Yoga Helps Celebrate Catholic Schools Week
Enfield Montessori School, sponsored by the Felician Sisters of North America, celebrated Catholic Schools Week with a range of activities, including Buddy Game Day, Craft Day and Yoga. All activities were designed to promote the core values that form the school’s foundation: respect for human dignity, compassion, transformation, solidarity with the poor, and justice and peace. Enfield Montessori School organizes various activities throughout the year to bring students, teachers, staff, and parents/caregivers together to celebrate their community, cultivate important skills, and reach out to others.
