PRESIDENT PRESENTATIONS,

FORCE & MOTION,

KEEPING TABS ON TAB COLLECTION

&

A WALK TO THE CHURCH!


This past week was our last full one before our April reprieve! Our fifth grade scholars launched us into this final stretch by presenting president/first lady projects to their parents. Students dressed the part and spoke from the perspective of the president/first lady they had researched. From Abraham Lincoln to Nancy Reagan, many of the greats were represented!  It was such a treat to have parents present in the building after such a long time of not being able to do so... GREAT JOB 5th GRADERS!


Speaking of "being launched", our third graders spent some time this past week studying the effects of force and motion, and the results were exciting! Students conducted an invisible forces lab experiment soaring "popper hoppers" through the air...a hands on learning in action!


Last night's April torrential showers were certainly worth the beautiful afternoon we were blessed with! Our walk down Main Street to pray the Stations of the Cross was wonderful, and the younger students walking alongside their buddies was long overdue. Our students were excited to journey down Main Street, and prayerful to journey with Jesus to Calvary.

Such a great "jump start" to Holy Week!


Finally, we are pleased to be able to gather as a school community in May to CELEBRATE our school's centennial year with our Annual Auction & Gala! Planning is well underway, and we are hoping for 100% participation, whether that be through donations, sponsorships, attendance at the event, or all of the above! More details will be headed our way following the break, but please reserve the date, and feel free to click here to contact event chairperson, if you are willing to help with the planning in any way.


Happy Palm Sunday.... we look forward to a prayerful Holy Week here at the school.



God Bless & Have a Great Weekend!

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


This week's fly overheard the following conversation in the hallway as students who either did not have the chance to go to confession, or were absent when their classmates went:


Mrs. Russo to Grade 2 student:

"Hey, (insert child's name here)

What are you doing waiting to go to confession?

Didn't you already go last week?"


Grade 2 student:

Yes, yes I did.

It just feels so good when I go, that I really wanted to go again."
