Spirit week at school

This week was Catholic Schools Week, which St. Mike's celebrates by having funny dress-up days and other fun school spirit activities.
Monday was green and gold day (school colors). Margaret & Caroline were so excited to try the face paint and hair dye they had seen the older kids use last year.

Tuesday was wacky day, and they went all out with the clashing clothes and crazy hair.

Wednesday was Hollywood day. Margaret was the actress Abigail Breslin, who played Kit Kittredge in the most recent American Girl movie. Caroline was a Hollywood glamour girl.

Wednesday evening was the school's first annual Art Walk. There was student art displayed throughout all the classrooms and hallways, and they were giving art lessons in the gym.
This is Margaret's weaving project from her Native American studies.

This is Caroline's Monet-inspired water lillies painting.

Here are the girls making more art in the gym--doing still life oil pastels.
