On October 9th, I went on the Piedmont Deanery Middle School Retreat with Ms. Ava. First, we did human rock, paper, scissors, then a relay dressing activity. When we were done, we wrote a note on a little mirror and then wrote a letter to someone in our family. After we ate lunch, we decorated water bottles. Then we did a rely game to wash a dish. I went to Reconciliation with Father Pius. After that, everyone went to Mass and then

went home.

I wrote this to encourage more kids from Holy Cross to go on the retreat this year.

Note: The retreat was held at Camp Chestnut Ridge in Efland, N.C. shown in the photo above.
