His Banner Over Me Is Love
Fifth grade Kinderkeepers sing "His Banner Over Me Is Love" with Kindergarten students during a recent Mass celebrated at St. Anne Catholic Church.
Here are the words to the song, in case you'd like to sing along with students at home:
Verses
Jesus is the bread of life.
He brings us in to His banqueting table.
The one way to peace is the power of the cross.
Chorus
His banner over us is love.

| Mars Curiosity 
Fourth graders are wrapping up their Space Science activity of building a Mars Rover out of recyclable materials. After studying the Mars Rover, "Curiosity," each "crew" worked together to build a rover. Students presented them, explaining how samples were collected and tested, and how the rover would move and operate on Mars. |

With Honors
Congratulations to St. Anne-Pacelli 7th & 8th graders who were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) March 13th.
More than just an honor roll, NJHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship and character.
St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School's chapter of Chi Alpha Mu is growing! A group of middle school students was inducted into the National Junior Math Club March 13th.
Chi Alpha Mu stands for Creative Adventures in Mathematics. Founded in 1967, the organization was reactivated by Mu Alpha Theta in 2008 to promote enjoyment and understanding of mathematics by middle school students.

Studying Surface Area
Mrs. Wendy Jacob's Honors Algebra class is studying surface area. Students made rectangular prisms and cubes with graph paper. Then, they calculated the surface area of these three-dimensional figures, using actual measurements from their figures.
This activity reinforced what they were learning about manipulating polynomials and factoring in the text.

Get to Know Mrs. Patricia Young

Mrs. Young with her granddaughter, Hanna, who is in 7th grade at SAPCS

Born in Columbus, Georgia, and raised in Phenix City, Alabama, as well as Columbus, Mrs. Patricia Young is a 2nd grade teacher at St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School. It's a title she's held for 20 years! As a teacher, she walks the same hallways she once did as a student. Mrs. Young started attending St. Anne School when she was in 7th grade. After graduating from Pacelli High School in 1979, she earned a bachelor's degree from Columbus College. Her master's degree is from Columbus State University.
"I never wanted to teach anywhere else," Mrs. Young says. "This was the only school where I applied to teach, because in my mind, this was how I wanted to teach and support children - the way I learned and the way my five children were taught."
Although it's hard to pinpoint a favorite aspect of her job, she notes, "If I had a favorite, it would be sharing my faith with students and watching us grow in our relationship with God."
When she's not at work, Mrs. Young enjoys watching movies, reading, and cheering for her triathlete husband, Larry, at his races. "I'm his biggest fan."
