PIC(S) OF THE WEEK!

ALLELUIA!

FAIRYTALE WEEK, FERRIS WHEEL FUN, KITES GALORE,

IDITA-READ REWARDS

&

WHEN WILL WARMER SPRING WEATHER "BEE" HERE? 

Many bright eyed and rested, as well as a few sun-kissed faces returned to school this week, ready to "press on" through the remaining weeks of the 2021-2022 school year! I hope that you all had a great week. 

Reentry can have its share of struggles, so this week seemed to include some hands on fun. From fairytale castle building in preschool to ferris wheel fun in Grade 5, and then of course kite building in Grades 3 & 4, our students experienced some quality STEM based learning. A few classes were also able to "cash in" on some rewards that were earned through either the Boosterthon or Idita-read incentives! A very chilly, yet successful week was had by all!  

Calendars will be turned this weekend, and May will be a whirlwind of activity! Please keep an eye on the Dates to Know About section of the newsletter to stay informed of all of the various happenings...it will go quickly!  

Lastly, let's kick off the month of May with a Spirit Wear Day! 

Staff and students are welcome to wear spirit wear on Monday, May 2nd, a reward for our can tab collection for the Ronald McDonald House.  Middle school students should wear their FAM House shirts, please!

God Bless & Have a Great Weekend!

Recommendation: Before you buy, give the swap shop a try! Inventory in the swap shop is quite good and locating sizes should be a bit easier as progress has been made with straightening the shop! 

Great News!  

We are so blessed to welcome Camille Cole to our school community! 

Click here to learn about the addition of a School Adjustment Counselor to the fold!

Camille holds MS MHC degree from Capella University. She has been with Saint Vincent’s Services for 7.5 years. Camille enjoys working with children and assists them with expressing their feelings and lowering their anxiety. Camille also specializes in grief therapy in helping others process their loss whether it is a loss of a family member, a pet, or a transition to a new school. She finds using art therapy and play therapy encourages children to express themselves more fully which allows them the ability to communicate their thoughts and feelings in an appropriate manner. Camille also teaches children the guided imagery technique which offers them the ability to self-regulate whether from having high anxiety or feelings of anger.

*** More information and  consent forms coming next week. 

The next Campus Ministry Club meeting is set to take place on Friday, May13th... more details coming soon! 

Our middle school students had the opportunity to attend a mini field trip to Bishop Stang this week to see a preview of their Spring Musical, Grease.

Fly on the Wall Heard in the Hall....

This week's fly overheard a conversation in the second grade classroom, where students are very much looking forward to making their First Communion:

Grade 2 Student #1:

"Mrs. Russo, after I make my First Communion, I am going to become an altar server!"

Mrs. Russo:

"Wow! That is really exciting!" And what about you, student #2, are you going to become an altar server too?"

Grade 2 student: #2

"No.... I am going to be an archaeologist."
