St. Alphonsus Names 2016 Honor Guard

Submitted by Mike Pulliam
    St. Alphonsus Catholic School students participated in the annual May Crowning and Brotherhood/Sisterhood program on May 4. Students chosen for the Brotherhood/Sisterhood Awards were selected by their homeroom peers to participate in the event. Students were chosen based on exemplifying the core values of integrity, respect, trust, stability, community involvement, honesty, empathy, ethical behavior, and fairness in their daily activities. These students created the Honor Guard for the May Crowning. This is a Catholic tradition where Mary is crowned Queen of the May. Congratulations!
