and Kinder; 1st and 2nd grades: 3rd and 4th;
5th and 6th; and 7th and 8th. And
teachers and students ONLY speak the target language 60 minutes a week! Speak
from day one, learn tongue-twisters and enjoy the culture our natives speakers
bring to each class. This Enrichment Program is currently offered at other
Catholic schools in the area. Enroll online for eleven Fridays from 1:45-2:45 pm starting 01/11-3/22 $220 plus $30

Thu. Dec. 20, Student Council will have a bake sale. Students may wear
Christmas or Advent colored socks for free.
Character Education Assembly
On Monday, Dec. 17, our
students were privileged to participate in an amazing character education
assembly. The production focused on inspiring the students to become Champions
at school and in life. Instead of paying a fee for the program, the NED show
makes NED (Never Give Up, Encourage Others, and Do Your Best) messaged items
available for purchase for 5 days following the show. These items reinforce
multi-sensory learning and are tangible reminders that increase your children’s
ability to retain NED’s message long after the assembly. The proceeds from your
purchase will allow another school to experience the NED Show at no cost as well!
Choice Lunch
It is time for the fourth
grade parents to sign up to volunteer to serve lunch. Parents are able to earn
lunch credit for their child. If you are interested please call ASAP.
Parents need to be
fingerprinted and have attended a Virtus training session.
