Dear Parents,

The science "cell reproduction" performances are due at the end of class on Monday.  I am really looking forward to seeing what they accomplished!  Their self assessments are also due that day.

The building is really cold right now because the boilers are not on yet.  I would recommend students bring an extra sweatshirt to leave in his/her locker for emergencies.

We will be participating in the Living Rosary on Wednesday.  Mrs. Brochtrup and Mrs. Boerke lead us through this each year during the month of October.  We are grateful for the new environment in the church to help us celebrate this special time.

7th grade articles are due no later than 3:15 on Wednesday.  I will not be accepting these late, so you might want to mention this to your child as it will make a pretty big mark in his/her quarter grade.

Genetics is our next topic of study.  We are very basic in our study, but the students do begin to understand why they look the way they do.  The project includes creating a "family" with a Thanksgiving theme based upon traits the student creates.

Science fair is this year!  Mark your calendars for March 14th, as it is a required night of attendance.  I will be handing out the packet about it after Thanksgiving.  I promise to walk each child through the process as best I can!

Hope you all have a great week!
Kim

Dear Parents, It's here, It's here, It's here.... finally, December has arrived!  I was so happy to start Advent this morning at church and hearing Deacon David's homily was really good.  Sounds like Fr. Randy is doing well and will use one more week of time to continue his healing.  Fr. Allam has been doing a good job in the absence of Fr. Randy.  We are so thankful for all of their leadership. This week: Monday: We have our first Advent Prayer gathering at 8:30 in the church.  Everyone is welcome to join us! The 6th - 8th grade will have Reconciliation in the church from 12:40-1:30.  All Catholic students will participate and those non-Catholics who would like a special blessing pray are welcome to come forward, as well. Wednesday:  We have mass at 8:45.  Thursday:  The long awaited Science Fair packets will be handed out to the 7th and 8th graders during science class.  The students have until December 13th to turn in the par...

Dear Parents, The creative juices are flowing with this group!  I love the cleverness of their ideas for this cell reproduction project!  I will share them with you when they are complete.  The videos are due on October 15th (along with the self assessment and their notebooks). We have church on Wednesday.  Things are getting cold around here, so make sure your child has a sweatshirt or a jacket they can put on in case they get cold. Picture retake is Thursday. Have a great weekend!  Ms. Maxson
