Pancake Breakfast
On Tuesday, known as "Shrove Tuesday," students enjoyed pancakes in our cafeteria. This is a tradition prior to Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. I'd like to extend huge thanks to all those who helped out with this important celebration.
IEP Fact Sheet for Parents
As you know, if you read this Blog regularly, we presented on the topic of IEP's last month. The week of that presentation, the Board released its much anticipated IEP Fact Sheet for Parents. If you'd like to have a look at this document, please access the following:
St. Pat's High School Band Drops by for a Visit
Last Friday, we were entertained by the St. Patrick's High School Senior Concert Band as well as their R&B Band. Students really enjoyed the music and all were interested in hearing about what St. Pat's High School has to offer in terms of programs in music. We hope they drop by again soon!
Ash Wednesday Liturgy
On Ash Wednesday, we had a liturgy which challenged us to examine our conscience and come up with ways in which we could better ourselves, especially over the next 40 days of Lent. Mr. Stern's 7-1 class was put in charge of leading this liturgy. They did an excellent job. Thanks also to our chaplain, Mr. Kozak, and our music director, Ms. Reilly and her Glee Club.
Director of Education Visits
On Friday, our Director of Education, Denise Andre, visited our school to see QuadSI (Schoolwide Student Success Support Initiative) in action in Mark Dalipaj's and Stephanie Malloy's grade 7 Math class. We witnessed reciprocal teaching via a Four Corners learning activity.
