Fr. Chris' pen pal project

The 4th and 5th Graders were visited by Fr. Chris today, who presented the pen pal project he has planned with our twinning parish in Texiquat, Honduras.
Each student was given the name of a 4th or 5th Grader at St. Francis of Assisi school in Texiquat to write a letter to.  Fr. Chris will deliver the letters this summer when he goes on a mission trip with 10 members of Holy Spirit parish.  The students in Honduras will respond to their letters from our students, and Fr. Chris will bring their responses back to our students. 

Living Rosary

The 4th and 5th Grades will be presenting a living Rosary before the all-school Mass on Wednesday.  Everyone is welcome to join us at 8:00 am in the church.

Block 1 Mass on Friday

This Friday, Block 1 Math/Science class will have Mass with Fr. Paul.  Everyone is welcome to attend.

Teacher Appreciation Week

Thanks to the Mattingly family for decorating the classroom with a Mexican theme.  It's beautiful and educational.  There are lots of  colorful decorations, flags, pictures, Spanish words and their translations, as well as Mexican cultural and historical information.  It feels like we are south of the border!
Tomorrow, the students shirts can wear their team colors.  Our color is black.  The students should still wear uniform pants or shorts with their black shirts.
Thursday is "Dress Like an Olympian" day.

Reminder: Early Dismissal

Just to remind you, school will be dismissed at 12:00 on Friday.

Year-end Benchmark Testing

We will be taking the final Benchmark tests of the year this week.  The students will be showing what they have learned all year, and the graph should be rising!  Results will be sent home before the end of the year.
