Please consider reading the upcoming Sunday gospel together as a family. The questions above are good conversation starters as you prepare your children for weekly mass.

A Note from the Principal:
Dear SJE Parents,
“The days are long, but the years are short.” Never is this quote truer than on the last day of the school year. Tomorrow is the last day of the 2018-2019 school year. We’ve already said goodbye to our eighth graders and our kindergartners. The rest of us are busy enjoying time together, squeezing in some last lessons and, yes, cleaning up.
Just like every other year, we’ve had great days and challenging days. Our plans were interrupted by rain, snow, and, of course, the Great Polar Vortex. Still, we managed to grow taller and stronger. We’ve built our skills, emotionally, spiritually, and academically. And, it’s safe to say, that we are looking forward to summer.
So, happy summer, friends. We wish you all the blessings of long, warm days with plenty of opportunity for family time. Our teachers will remember their students in their prayers. We hope you will remember us as well.
Don’t forget to continue the learning – ask plenty of questions, explore new things, and, of course, read, read read!
See you at mass!
Growing in God’s Love,
Mary Laidlaw Otto

The Squirrel Who Came to Dinner
|
|
Our youngest students got a chance to meet a real live author! Mrs. Carol Lee Massino, an SJE parishioner, brought in her book,
The Squirrel Who Came to Dinner,
and told us a little bit about where the story took place. Her friend, Mrs. Jan Braun, another parishioner, read the story along with Mrs. Crass and Ms. Heise. Our students loved to hear the many voices Mrs. Braun used to tell the story.
Thank you to Mrs. Massino and Mrs. Braun for sharing their talents.

What's better than spending time reading with your buddies? Reading in our garden! The fifth and sixth graders took advantage of some recent nice weather and read with their buddies in our garden. Be sure to spend some time this summer reading with your children.
