Grade 5 enjoyed their ice cream party for winning the last Box Tops challenge. How sweet! The next challenge will be in May so start clipping!
Mrs. Polkus took the 3rd graders on a tour of Church. She pointed out some fascinating details: there were actually three St. Anthony churches, the wooden fish in the Gathering Space is actually a book, and there are etchings on the posts at the church entrance that have special meaning, to name a few.
 The 4th graders interviewed their 1st grade buddies to generate ideas for stories they are writing. The 1st graders will be the illustrators of the stories, and each student will receive a copy of the completed writing piece.
