Friday Masses

Our 5th/6th graders participated in our

first individual classroom Mass this past

week. I was a very special day for those

students. Other students were able to

access the Mass via Zoom back in their

classrooms, and they were also able to

receive the Holy Eucharist. As long as

we are operating in the Purple Tier, we

will continue to have individual class-

rooms (cohorts) participate in the in-

person Mass. 3rd/4th grades are sched-

uled for December 4th. Parents, families

and friends are always welcome to join in

with our school Masses, we will present

CUPS (capitalization, usage,

punctuation, and spelling). In

up topic 6, learning how to multi-

ply decimals. In 6th grade, they

finished topic 5 which covered

dividing whole numbers and deci-

Classrooms Cont. -7th/8th

In science, students were outside and acted as scien-

tists. They created a field guide for various leaves,

and then gave them a new scientific name and com-

mon name, as the culminating activity for our chap-

ter on classification. In religion we discussed

strengths, goals, and ambitions. Students created

their own cards with some strengths, one goal for

this year, one ambition for their life, and a symbol

that represents them. To finish up the week, stu-

dents finally got to meet with their TK and Kinder

buddies. They brought them

a homemade Thanksgiving

card and had some time to

interview each other. On

Saturday 7th and 8th graders

came out to help

deliver din-

ners to cars

during our

drive thru fundraiser. They did an

amazing job!
