Greetings,
We have some upcoming events to share as we close out semester one and look towards the second half of the year.
Next week is finals week for our secondary students. Our 7
th
-12
th
graders will have half-days on Thursday and Friday. They will have blocks 1-4 on Thursday and blocks 5-8 on Friday. They will be done at noon and can leave from there; please arrange for transportation. *If students have a study hall 1st block, they may arrive at 8:40am on Thursday. If they have a study hall 5th block, they may arrive at 8:40am on Friday. If they have a study hall 4th block, they may leave after their last final on Thursday. If they have a study hall 8th block, they may leave after their last final on Friday. This will mainly affect our 11th and 12th grade students, but please be sure you talk with you student to arrange for transportation at the proper time.*
Please note, lunch will not be available for grades 7-12 on Thursday or Friday.
There is a no school day for students on Monday, January 21
. That day our teaching staff will be working together and having a professional development/learning day and working on end of semester grades.
Monday, January 28
is our annual State of the School meeting at 7pm in our chapel. This is open to anyone and provides information on the current status of Loyola and what to look forward to as a school.
Looking further ahead, March 8
we will be having a family tour day and student shadow day. Because we are in session that day and some other schools in the area are not, please help spread the word and invite interested families to take a look at Loyola that day.
March 19
is our first of two Kindergarten Round-up dates. It is at 6pm. The second date is April 1
at 6pm. In addition to Kindergarten Round-up on April 1,
we will be holding a high school information night at 7:30pm. All current 7/8 grade families are invited and the public is invited as well, so spread the word! This is a great opportunity for those who may be interested in a school change for high school.
Please keep a close eye out for more details on all of these events as the dates approach.
Blessings on your weekend!
Adam Bemmels,
PS-12 Principal

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK...
As we continue our marketing efforts at Loyola, we are reaching out to current parents, teachers and students for some help. We are putting together a "reasons to love Loyola" list. When you think about Loyola, what are the first three things that come to mind?
We are also once again collecting testimonials. Do you have a positive Loyola-related thought to share? Even if it's just a sentence or two, we would love to hear from you! P
lease cl

to access the form. All submissions are anonymous.
ELKS WRITING CONTEST
Each year, the local Elks lodge sponsors an essay contest where students are asked to respond to a topic, usually focusing on America, patriotism, or veterans. The topic this year was "What Makes You Proud of America?" The top three essays were written by Loyola students. Congratulations to Rachel Ammann, Maddie Hurias, and Taiton Moore! They each won a Wow! Zone gift card for their winning essays. Their essays will now move on to the Elks District level, with the opportunity to move on beyond that as well.
WELCOME ARGENTINA STUDENTS
On Monday morning we welcomed 11
Argentina
students and their chaperone, who will be spending the next month with us. Students are staying with Mankato families and will attend Loyola to experience the life of an American high school student.
HELP NEEDED!
Our new Argentinian friends have expressed interest in attending the annual city-wide formal JOBS dance on January 19. The tickets for the event are covered, but we are in need of formal wear (suits, ties, sport coats and formal dresses) for them to borrow. If you have any extras at home, please consider loaning them for this occasion. Items can be brought to the school office; please be sure your hangers are labeled with your name. Thank you in advance for your help!
