Dear Saint Rose Families,
Today I was impressed with the observations that I had in classes. Mrs. Sarra's 4th grade reading class focused on a non-fiction book about a grassroots environmental movement of the 1960s in the San Francisco Bay. It was a good exercise in differentiated learning as students were divided into small groups, and with the guidance of Mrs. Sarra, Mrs. Artz and Mrs. Naveaux they were able to read and process the same book but at different reading levels. The purpose of the lesson was to have students practice
reading, improve upon their different levels and to use cues within the text to find the main idea and supporting information. Mrs. Sarra is going to use the lesson to launch a project based learning unit focused on the Maumee River and the Maumee Bay.
From there I went to see the 8th grade small groups present their project based learning presentations to a panel from the school and parish. Mrs. Brahier's religion students have been working on these projects for several months. Today's presentation is a culmination of
their efforts. Each group was assigned a topic specific to our Catholic faith and then challenged to provide a real world action that can improve upon the problem. Today's groups focused on abortion, homelessness, education and racial tensions. The students conducted excellent research. I took particular attention to the fact that students that attend Catholic school outperform their public school counterparts. More impressive than their research was the application of a solution to their specific problems. The group focused on abortion interviewed families that have been part of the adoption process. They then wrote a blog for the Spirit of Faith Adoption Agency. Another group gathered donations and served at Bethany House, a safe house for abused women. The group focused on education met with the director of Central Cities Ministries of Toledo Schools. He stated that their schools face major technology needs. The students initiated a collection with St. Joe's Sylvania and were able to collect $2,000 towards an improved wifi system. Finally, students reached out to Black Catholic Ministries and Dialogue to Change Toledo and formed several communication meetings and social outings with Queen of Apostle's School in Toledo.
These observations represent a small snapshot of the day at Saint Rose. These were two class periods in two grade levels. I know that at the same time great things were happening from preschool on up. Our Open House is this Sunday, January 29 from 1-3 pm. We have a few 8th grade students that will speak at Mass on Sunday and invite parishioners to attend our Open House. For those of you with younger children, remember that these students were once in preschool, kindergarten and elementary school at Saint Rose. These years go
pretty quickly. It is neat to what our students become as they look towards high school and beyond.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bryon Borgelt
Principal

For the safety of our children...
Dear Saint Rose Families,
Please refrain from using your cell phone while in the school parking lot before and after school. We have a lot of students and traffic moving through the lot at that time. Please also watch your speed. Finally, please wait to let your children out of the car in the morning until they are released by our faculty.
Thank you

Eighth Graders Address Racism
 Eighth graders Ally Sosko, Halle Rindler, and Angelina Barone were concerned about the difficult relations between the police and African Americans that have been publicized in recent months. For their service learning project, they decided to address the topic of racism. After investigating various possible actions, they contacted
Dialogue to Change Toledo, a local committee that brings people together to discuss race relations.
Saint Rose School contacted Queen of Apostles School in South Toledo to invite them to collaborate on offering an after school program for eighth graders. These students will meet four times with trained facilitators from Dialogue to Change Toledo. Their meetings have already blossomed into friendships and a greater respect for all of God's People. These teens will decide on another action plan to share what they have learned. Stay tuned for more details in the future!

Counselor's Corner January 2017
This month's lesson focused on the Lifeskill of
Respect, which focused on how we need to treat others the way we want to be treated. From listening to other's opinions to not spreading rumors, there are always way to be respectful of others.
Guidance Lesson Recap:
Grade K - We read the story
You're Wearing That to School? by Lynn Plourde. The story was about a free-spirited hippo that was excited to wear her favorite outfit to school. Throughout the story, her friend was worried about what others would think and tried to tell her she was not good enough. As a class, we talked about positive ways we can show respect to others and how to give encouragement to our classmates.
Grade 1/2- We read the story
Smelly Bill: Love Stinks by Daniel Postgate. The story was about a dog that was told he was not good enough because he smelled. Throughout the story, he tried to change that he was just to be liked, but in the end realized others should like him for who he is. As a class, we talked about how the dog was disrespected and how we should treat others with respect even if they are different than us.
Grade 3/4- As a class, we read the story
The Really Awful Musicians by John Manders. The story focused on a group of musicians who were always told they were terrible because they did not play in sync. Throughout the story, they learned to play together and finally earned some compliments. As a class, we talked about many things that can be challenging and may require practice, but it is so important to show respect and encouragement instead of disrespectful put-downs.
Grade 5- Students participated in a variation of the game Simon Says, which focused on many ways in which we are different. From differences in appearance, to differences in academic abilities, students noticed how we are all different with strengths and weaknesses. As a class, we talked about the importance of embracing these differences in a respectful way, rather than bullying or exclusion.
Grade 6-8- Students participated in an activity that showed the importance of respecting everyone, no matters one's differences. Students got to have a sticker placed on their forehead/back of a different color. The students had to determine which group they belonged to based on the color of their sticker. After the activity, we talked about how it felt being left out of a group because of a difference among us. We shared how important it is to break down barrier of cliques that can happen and how showing respect to all is always the right thing to do.
Resources for Parents-
Here are some additional books to read at home with your child as a way to help reinforce the lifeskill of respect.
Show Some Respect by Anastasia Suen
Just Because I Am by Lauren Murphy Payne

Nominate a Teacher! 
Please take a moment to nominate a Saint Rose teacher that made a difference for you child. Each year the Golden Apple award is presented to a select group of teachers from the Diocese. The teachers must be nominated by a parent, student or fellow teacher. They must be a practicing Catholic, and have taught full time for at least three years at Saint Rose. Ms. Lewandowski was nominated by a parent two years ago and was selected by the Diocese as a recipient. This a tremendous honor for our teachers.

Year of Mercy

Comfort the Sorrowful
January Charity:
Thank you for the Monthly Donations!
Our November collections totaled $ 355.69. Our works of mercy that month were "Bury the Dead" and "Pray for the Living and the Dead."
During the month of November, students decorated place mats that were given to the Saint Rose Helping Hands committee that provides for the funeral luncheons. Mrs. Dot Simon wrote this thank you:
Our December collection of $162.39, along with 443 clothing and baby items, were donated to Heartbeat to help women and men in crisis pregnancies.
Thank you for your generosity in serving the poor!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 For the month of January, we will continue our Corporal Works of Mercy by concentrating on visiting the sick and comforting the sorrowful. Each grade level will be collecting different items to donate to the Ronald McDonald House of Northwest Ohio. The Ronald McDonald House "provides access to health care and enables family-centered care." It helps lessen the burden for families by keeping family members together to help kids heal and cope better. It is a "home-away-from-home" for families who travel to Toledo for their children's medical care. They are "committed to enriching the lives of children by providing comfort, care, and support to families in Northwest Ohio, Southeast Michigan, and beyond."
The following items have been assigned to each grade level to donate for this worthy cause:
| Kindergarten |
Aluminum foil or plastic wrap |
| 1st Grade |
Packages of Ramen noodles or Cup of Noodles |
| 2nd Grade |
Clorox or Lysol wipes |
| 3rd Grade |
Paper towels |
| 4th Grade |
Toilet paper |
| 5th Grade |
Kleenex |
| 6th Grade |
Trash bags |
| 7th Grade |
Sandwich bags (large or small) |
| 8th Grade |
Dish soap or sponges |
All mission money brought in on January Mass days will also be donated to the Ronald McDonald House.
Let's all work together to show the Ronald McDonald House our giving spirit here at Saint Rose School!
