A Busy Week in October

Over the past few weeks, the school library has been transformed to host a Scholastic book fair. Artwork from many of the students is on display to help with the "heroes" theme. The elementary students were challenged to read 1,000 books in 4 weeks in hopes of earning a free recess. The students actually read 2,134 books!!! I think we were all amazed at how many books our students could read when challenged.

Parent teacher conferences were held this past Thursday. It was encouraging to see so many families come. The list of students that made the honor roll is posted by the front office. Congratulations to all of the students who worked hard this quarter and made the honor roll!

Another Busy Week

This past week all of the fall sports teams were busy with practice and games. The elementary girls team played their last game of the season on Thursday. The soccer teams were blessed with some beautiful weather this week for their games.

On Friday it was great to see all of the students in their Servathon shirts for celebration day. The students watched a slide show in chapel with pictures from the Servathon, and they all enjoyed special treats during lunch time.

Our next Munchy Monday is tomorrow at American Pie. This week is also the last week of the 1st quarter. I am sure that the students will be busy this week getting their assignments turned in.

Welcome to October!

It is hard to believe that September is over already. I can’t believe how quickly this school year is going by. We were blessed with some beautiful weather this week which provided an opportunity to have a fire drill. We are required to do 6 throughout the school year – 2 down, 4 more to go.

There is a Parent Teacher Congress (PTC) meeting this Tuesday at 7 pm in the library. This is a great opportunity for you to meet other parents, hear about some of the activities going on around the school, and provide your input as well.

We have 2 more weeks left in the first quarter for this school year. Secondary parents are able to log into the school’s website and check their student's grades so that when report cards are issued it will not be a surprise. Secondary teachers update the grades by Monday of each week.

The elementary students are busy trying to read 1,000 books by the book fair. They have already read over 300 books, so they are off to a great start so far. If they reach their goal, the elementary students will receive an extra recess. There is also a fun video regarding the book fair on the school’s website so be sure to check it out.
