Students in Mrs. Kelley’s PreK4 class had fun this week painting green Irish shamrocks for an art lesson and then making paper hats with them, just in time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on Thursday. Along the way, they also learned about the true meaning of the shamrock. Mrs. Kelley explained that the shamrock’s three-part leaves represent God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. When St. Patrick was preaching the Word of God to the Celtic people in Ireland, he used the shamrock as a symbol to explain the beauty of the holy trinity.
