From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Catholic Schools Week is behind us and February lies before us. This week we begin our next BE Attitude - BE FAIR. All classes will be concentrating on justice issues, rights, and fair vs. equal. This month's theme is being led by
Ms. Zahn and the fifth graders.
I'm excited to share with you some professional development updates that are occurring in the Archdiocese. Later this month, (February 17) our teachers will join all other teachers in the diocese to discuss best practices, including the use of rubric scoring. Many of our teachers have already been hard at work introducing this concept to their students. Be on the lookout for samples of work coming home with a rubric (1,2,3,4) score on it. This strategy is being used to help students know exactly where they are on a concept and to help better guide teachers in their lesson planning. Thank you to our resource teachers,
Melissa Doll and
Jennifer Guthrie for sharing their expertise!
Congratulations to
Olivia Moroney. She has been chosen as the recipient of the Fr. Linus Schmelzer Scholarship from Catholic Memorial High School. (Fr. Schmelzer was the pastor here at St. Anthony on the Lake Parish for 27 years!) This scholarship is intended to inspire recipients to emulate his faithful service in high school and throughout their lives.
Blessings to all,
Ellen Knippel
