November Edition - Celebrations Around The World
The articles and artwork of each Tablet Jr. are created by the students of the diocesan academies/schools, and each month there is a new theme and a new school. St. Kevin Catholic Academy, Queens is this month’s school to showcase its journalistic skills. Enjoy reading the additional student submissions as well as using the Teacher Resources below. As we enter the Advent Season, let us pray that the Catholic Social Teachings guide us to be good citizens and people, as well as good Catholics.
