Story of the Week

Dear Parents,

I hope you are with us on our journey of weekly short stories to inspire you to read aloud to your children. The magic of storytelling in a family setting is profound—it fosters deep bonds, invites openness, and creates sacred moments of connection between parents and children.

We carefully selected each story to be short, meaningful, and aligned with our overarching theme of virtues. November’s virtue in the school is Courage, and in keeping with the Feast of All Saints and the month being for all souls, I am including some stories of saints.

It is with great joy that we present the featured story of the week. To enrich this experience further, we encourage you to follow these simple steps:

Read the story aloud to your children, embracing the power of your voice to bring it to life.
Invite them to retell it in their own words, asking for as much detail as they can recall.
Engage in thoughtful conversation by asking meaningful questions:
- What was their “one thing”—the word or phrase that stood out most? Explore why it resonated with them, and share your own “one thing.”
- Can they connect to other stories they’ve heard, perhaps even scripture?
- How does the story relate to their own lives?

Remember, your children will treasure your thoughts as much as their own, so share freely and with love.

My prayer is that these stories deepen your family’s connection and spark meaningful conversations each week. May you find joy in both the stories and each other.

God bless,

Miss Ayre
