May Edition – Freedom: Life and Dignity of All Humans
The articles and artwork of each Tablet Jr. are created by the students of the diocesan academies, and each month there is a new theme and a new academy.
Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy, Brooklyn, is this month’s academy to showcase its journalistic skills. Enjoy reading the additional student submissions as well as using the Teacher Resources below. This is the last edition of the school year. As we break for the summer, let’s reflect on what Nicholas Sinatra, Grade 5, writes: ‘Jesus taught us that every person is special and valuable.” Let us know what you think! And see you in September.
