The contest, which has a Nov. 15 postmark deadline, is open to youths living in or attending school, home school or religious education in the Diocese of Davenport. Messenger staff members will judge the entries based on originality and the ability to convey what Christmas means to Catholics. Entries must include first and last name, age, grade, home address, school (public, private or home school with the school s location) and parish (name and city) on the back of the drawing.

3 Thank you to all who helped and participated by buying lunch or playing bingo. The day was a great success. The money collected will go to Tom and Sarah Kruse to help pay for medical expenses. What a gift God has given us to be able to help others. Everyday at Holy Trinity Catholic is worthy of gratitude and praise, and we have had many exceptional days throughout October and into November. Wyatt Hellman will be featured in an upcoming article in "The Catholic Messenger" for his winning essay and participation in the World Food Prize. This is a prestigious program in the world and our Crusader family is very proud of Wyatt. The fifth grade class has studied the saints in religion class as part of All Saints Day. They each researched a saint and presented their research to their classmates. They also decorated a wooden spoon as their chosen saint. What a creative and educational way for our students to learn more about the Communion of Saints in our faith. In addition to All Saints Day and All Souls Day, Holy Trinity Catholic enjoyed some Halloween festivities as well. From preschool to high school, the halls were full of delighted students, teachers, and staff in fantastic costumes. Our Spanish classes learned about the Mexican tradition of Spoons to represent "Dia de los Muertos" that began on October 31 and ended on the saints November 2. The students learned how this relates to All Souls Day and the importance of praying for and honoring our deceased. We are so grateful for the wonderful educational and faithful opportunities that our students have each day. Display of Dia de los Muertos Teachers and students dressed up for Halloween
