Spotlight on 5th Grade

In preparation for Holy Week and Easter, 5th Grade students completed Holy Week Calendar Projects. Students read the Gospel for the day and identify the 3 most powerful/impactful verses to them, as well as incorporate an Old Testament verse that connected with the Holy Week theme and insert a symbol or image for each day. We have been practicing our Scripture quotations and mood/theme for book assembly this year, culminating in these excellent Holy Week Projects.  The rest of the student work can be found on the bulletin board outside 5th Grade.

• Michaela's Holy Week Calendar
• Calvin's Holy Week Calendar
• Cole's Holy Week Calendar
• Eva's Holy Week Calendar
• Natalie's Holy Week Calendar

Called to Protect Week

Called to Protect is an Archdiocesan established, mandated, and audited program designed to keep your children and our school community safe. K-8 students, all employees and all volunteers take an audience specific version of this training each year. This week, K-8 students will spend the week learning about:

• How to recognize interactions between adults and children that may be inappropriate 
• How to respond if you see something of concern
•  Skills and information on safe environments (school, sports, internet, etc.)

If you have any questions, please contact your child(ren)'s teacher.
