Catholic Schools Week is upon us. The 8th grade's insert went out last week, so let me know if your child didn't give you a copy to read. The 6th grade ads are in full swing so be sure to tune into KSIB throughout the week to listen to them! Wednesday, the 8th grade serves the Chamber of Commerce breakfast. They should be in Mass attire when they come to school then they can change into super hero/America day after. Thursday we will be heading to Des Moines for roller skating. That day is blue and gold day. Kids should have a sack lunch, pop is okay. Friday is grandparents Mass. Please have your child dressed in Mass attire for this day. I will post pictures next week of our CSW fun. I didn't get a picture of pj day due to kids coming and going throughout the day. Reminder that February 8th is Donuts with Dad at 7:30-8:00. We are taking donations or monetary donations for the auction basket, "A Day in the City". You can give your donations to anyon...

The 8th grade is writing the insert. It will be packed full of some exciting information.**** The 6th grade started off their new year with a bang with an essay.

Look how prompt I was on photos!! Ha! McCoy! He was cheering on his team in The Grinch memory game. This team was a little more reserved but they were the winners!! I read them similes and metaphors about the Grinch and based on the comparisons they had to draw a Grinch face. Zoe was voted the Cheermeister of Whobalation!! Max was voted the Grinch... He is even acting Grinchy in the picture. The 8th grade's Christmas week has been focusing on keeping Christ in Christmas. They wrote Acrostic poems with the word Christmas. Based off the letters they had to write about the true meaning of Christmas, Christ our Savior. They had some inspiration from Perry Como's C H R I S T M A S. I brought my record player and we listened to Como's whole record. Aren't they dazzling in their class shirts? :) Masa on Thursday as well as Secret Santa, ugly sweaters, and Christmas caroling at 12:30. This day they will nee...
Hi parents! A lot going on next week so here we go... Tuesday the 8th grade would like to wear their class shirts. Please remind them, if you could. It's on my board but you know how that goes... The 6th grade is having their Grinch Who-balation on Tuesday. This class will be filled with games, educational of course, and different activities surrounding the Grinch and Common Core. I will post pictures during break. It's pretty cute. :) Wednesday is the finals of the GeoBee. We have several middle schoolers so stop by and check it out. We are doing it right after Mass, so 10:15. Thursday... The whole school is asked to dress festive for Christmas. In our wing that means ugly sweaters. If your child has an ugly Christmas sweater, Thursday would be the day to wear it! If not, it's totally fine! The 8th grade is having a Moldovan Masa. Masa means table or party in Romanian. I like to do this to bring a little bit of my Peace Corps experience to them. We will have...
