St. John the Baptist Catholic School is excited to share its monthly school newsletter! You will find information about what's going on at the school, including academics, athletics, service projects, events and information about our alumni.
Academics
Owl Investigation
Mrs. Rhoades' Junior High science students recently learned about owls. They especially focused on owls that live in Nebraska. To help apply their knowledge, students were broken into groups to dissect owl pellets. They used a bone chart key to help them identify what animals the owl consumed.
The Principal's Office
First quarter has flown by, and we have done so much, had so much fun, and have learned a ton. It was great to see all of the parents at parent teacher conferences. We had a 96% attendance rate at this semester's conferences! We are truly blessed to have such great support!
Our Book Fair has been a great success. The last time we had a book fair was 9 years ago! We are all very excited and appreciative of all the books that were purchased for our classrooms, students and families.
Athletics & Activities
Basketball Season Has Begun!
This year we have 5th/6th/7th girls, 5th/6th boys, and 7th/8th boys combined teams.
On October 31st, our entire school held a Pink Out in remembrance of the Speer/Perez Family. We are continuing to send prayers. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5
All Saints Day Parade!
Mrs. Prestridge and her second grade class celebrated All Saints Day in a special way. Students dressed up as either their favorite Saint, or the Saint that they were named after. They paraded through the halls and classrooms, singing loudly for all to enjoy!
