Dear parents,
As the calendar has turned to February we look forward to many positive events taking place. Our talented athletics and activities groups will be in playoff mode, wrapping up their regular seasons and then heading into playoffs in March.
Playoffs and competition seasons are in full swing from some of our activities this weekend. Our intermediate and secondary robotics teams will be competing at the state tournament level this weekend in St. Cloud. Here is a link to view it in live stream
www.sctcc.edu/vextv . Hopefully you were able to view our pep fest on Facebook Live this Wednesday!
Our One Act Play cast and crew will be competing at the Section level
tomorrow in Le Sueur at the Le Sueur-Henderson High School Auditorium. It is at
3pm. I hope to see some of you there supporting our group. Congratulations on being sub-section champions last weekend. The competition was at the lower campus auditorium. Thanks to all who helped set up and host the event.
Next weekend, our Speech team will be competing here on the upper campus. Stay tuned for more details. Our knowledge bowl team was in competition today along with our Math Counts team. We hope to have those results soon.
February is I Love to Read Month. We have a wide array of activities planned for the month. Use
this link as a reference page for all that is taking place for I Love to Read Month. It is very important for all of our students and our entire school culture to foster a love of reading. This is not just in our early years or elementary school days, but as adolescents and adults. Thank you for your partnership in developing a love of reading!
We are announcing that Mrs. Alex Christian, Loyola's 6th-8th grade Social Studies teacher has notified us that today will be her last day of employment at Loyola. A plan is in place to ensure a smooth transition for our students; Mrs. Chrissy Karst, who is licensed to teach Social Studies, will be assuming the responsibilities of 6th-8th grade Social Studies. Our administration has been working closely with Mrs. Karst since our time at Loyola and we are excited for her to step into the classroom for a full-time role. She will have to put aside her other titles for a while as Tech Integrationist and Tech Coach.
We thank Mrs. Christian for her work at Loyola and wish her well in her new endeavors.
Thanks to everyone who made Catholic Schools Week so wonderful! From our All School Mass, to the dress up days to the Where in the World is Iggy contest, the true spirit of Loyola was shining brightly this week!
Sincerely,
Adam Bemmels

Congratulations to Lindsey Theuninck for reaching 3,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds!
A MESSAGE FROM MR. KOTILA:
In just a couple of weeks we (Loyola) have the opportunity to host a concert put on by the Minnesota River Valley Wind Ensemble (MRVWE). This group is a community ensemble made up of individuals from a variety of professions, people who come together to play because they love making music.
This is a great chance for students to see that there are opportunities to keep playing (and at a high level) outside of school - playing doesn't have to end when they graduate!
Please mark your calendars! If you have any questions please let me know!
