Parents, we are now accepting donations for our auction basket, Hometown.

Friday Feb. 1: Sunday Best: Grandparent's Mass


7th grade wrapped up their poetry unit. They finished it off by painting traditional Japanese haiku scrolls and writing their haiku on top of it. They are into their myths and legends unit before starting their novel unit.


The 6th grade kicked off Catholic Schools Week a bit early by going to KSIB radio station to record radio ads, which can be heard all this week. They stated their favorite thing about St. Malachy.



The 6th grade ended their poetry unit with haikus as well. However, they made haiku tunnels. Traditional haiku poetry is only three lines long with 17 syllables total. They generally focus on something in nature. Here are a few examples of their tunnels. They all turned out great!
They recently started learning about myths and legends. Their next unit will be the novel unit where they will read two novels and write a research paper. 
 Catholic Schools Week Tuesday: Twins Day!



Reese and I accidentally twinned, but I am glad we did. :)
