From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Greetings from Piura Peru!  Words cannot describe the experience that I am having here in Peru. From visits to the girl's home, to delivering food packages, to building a home (start to finish
in one day
), every day brings with it another opportunity to be the hands and feet of God! We are truly blessed with all we have! Never again will I take hot water for granted!
I return
on Friday
and will be back in school
on Monday
morning.
A couple of reminders: The second quarter ends
on Friday
. Please remind your child to have all assignments handed in by that time.
Catholic Schools Week will be celebrated
January 28 thru February 3rd
. Students and their families are asked to participate by doing the readings, petitions, etc.at Mass the weekend of Jan. 28-29. Please let Bonita know if you are interested. I have the names of the families that wanted to participate at Christmas but we had too many people. We'd also like to have short presentations (3 minutes) to thank the parish for their support.
Have a great week. Please keep us in your prayers as we keep you in ours!
Mrs. Knippel

Mrs. Kahler's 6th Graders have started reading "Out of the Dust" by Karen Hesse. This is a novel written in free verse which is set in Oklahoma in the mid-1930s. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl will be major components of their analysis of this novel. In Social Studies, they just finished learning about Ancient Rome and will now move on to the Byzantine Empire. Only eight more centuries to go until they reach their goal of studying WWII!

Ms. Sellers' 3rd graders started their "simple and complex" machine projects. The class will use K'nex to construct a device that will do "work". As a tie in to their unit,
