Columbus St. Andrew School promotes community building through its family group pro- gram. Family groups are a mixture of students in all grade levels. Each group consists of 13 to 15 students and is facilitated by its eighth-grade member. Family groups meet once per month, with an activity or discussion as part of the meeting. This year, the focus is on the Columbus St. Anthony School fifth-graders worked on a STEM activity that challenged them Beatitudes. Members of one of the groups are (from left) Eliana Geraci, Henne Montooth, to “save Fred,” a gummy worm whose boat had capsized. Fred was stuck atop a plastic Wyatt Robinson and Hannah Martin.
