It is a beautiful tradition at Benedictine Academy to gather as a family with our Benedictine Sisters and celebrate the Feast of St. Benedict. Each year, our school community raises up and honors a Benedictine Sister who has blessed us with the gift of her loving presence. This year, we remembered Sr. Lucy Hernandez, our teacher of the Spanish curriculum. The students created an awesome powerpoint presentation on "This is Your Life" and shared their poetry writings. Krystal reflected,
"Sr. Hermana Lucy,
A woman who cares,
A woman who loves,
A woman who shares,
A woman whom I will never forget,
A woman who will never be forgotten."
A woman who loves,
A woman who shares,
A woman whom I will never forget,
A woman who will never be forgotten."
And Fatima shares, "Our very own Sister Lucy Hernandez, she glows every time she sees her students succeeding. One of a kind. A teacher and a friend who is always there for you. Your smile fills our hearts like a balloon filled with air. "
The wonderful morning ended with everyone proudly and affectionately singing our Benedictine Alma Mater.
