The October House meetings ended with a special game for the seniors and advisors. The goal was to get as many rolls of toilet paper through a hole in an inter-tube.  Mr. Morton’s ability to hike the “ball” super fast and Jackson’s accuracy’s (along with help from Anna and Ms. Leland) gave Sapientia the victory.

 My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—  I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.  John 17: 20-23

FidesSapientia

Truck Tuesday also had a house competition for the picture that looked most like the theme. Audacia took 1st place (15pts) because not only are they on a truck, but you can see it.  Fides came in 2nd (10pts) because they are on a truck…but you can’t see it.  And Sapientia came in 3rd (5pts).
