Everyone will answer the "Living the Marist Way" questions.

As a homeroom, discuss each question together. As a student, choose at least one question to reflect on and answer completely in the comment field about how your book connects with the Marist Way.]]> 2022-08-14 21:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/xw3e7ppxy98rhzal/wish/2260735359 Our Homeroom/Advisory read . . . williamsa90 https://padlet.com/williamsa90/xw3e7ppxy98rhzal/wish/2260735360 1.

To live a Marist life or share a Marist Way, we say that we strive to follow God…as Mary did.

Mary followed God in a certain way.

Though we do not know all that Mary did, the way we think Mary lived her life and went about her work inspires us. The Marist priests call this “Mary’s work.” 

We believe that at the heart of Mary’s work is an openness to all people, excludes no one, and is designed to enable men and women to grow and develop according to their call.

This school year I will try to reach out to people that I don't spend normally spend as much of my time with and get to know some of the new students.

2.

This shows to put others needs before my own.]]> 2022-08-24 00:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/xw3e7ppxy98rhzal/wish/2269425776 Courtney Heerboth https://padlet.com/williamsa90/xw3e7ppxy98rhzal/wish/2269429859 The characters in my book displayed mercy and compassion when the main character decided that it was more important to spend time with her family after her mom died to help them cope with it rather than escaping and going to a different city to try to keep it off of her mind. Also, her family was struggling to keep their house, so she was able to convince her boss to give her younger brother a job that he had dreamed of having before but never thought would come true.]]> 2022-08-24 00:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsa90/xw3e7ppxy98rhzal/wish/2269429859 Mia Abujawdeh https://padlet.com/williamsa90/xw3e7ppxy98rhzal/wish/2271487920 Roma and Juliette display how even old enemies can come together and learn that they are more alike than they previously thought.
