The kindergarten classes of Our Lady of Prompt Succor School in Chalmette recently concluded their studies of the letters Q and U with the wedding of the two letters. On April 12 the kindergarten students gathered with their families to unite the letters Q and U in matrimony so that neither of the letters would every need to stand alone.
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, like many schools in St. Bernard, is always looking was interesting and unique ways to teach important lessons.
The wedding ceremony for the letters Q and U was officiated by Father Salvador Galvez, parochial vicar of Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church.
Students dressed as the brides and grooms and recited their vows together:
"I, the letter Q ( or U)
Take you the letter U ( or Q)
To be my letter partner
To stand beside me in every word.
One syllable or five
To never let another letter stand between us.
I promise to lead you in each word
So that all of our words may be spelled correctly
For as long as the English language shall exist."
Following the marriage ceremony, students, faculty and parents enjoyed a reception catered by The Balcony. The letter Q and U cakes were provided by the Tran family.
The day was planned by kindergarten teachers Ellen Doody, Cindy Reynolds, Joel Weibelt- Smith, and Bonny Loposser.
