Buckets of cleaning supplies were collected for The People's Resource Center and Lisle Township. The seventh grade class loaded up the van with the plentiful buckets provided by the parishioners of Saint Joan of Arc. Thank you for your help, seventh grade!

Students made fleece blankets for Project Linus, a national organization that donates blankets to children in hospitals. The blankets are typically given to children who have been diagnosed with cancer and provide warmth and security in this time of stress. Blankets stay in the community and are given to children in area hospitals.

Grandparents' Day
We are so excited to bring Grandparents' Day back this spring with our Variety Show. We will begin the day with Mass, visit the classrooms, have some snacks and end with the Variety Show in the gym. It will be a fun filled morning! 
 
Please have your "Grand" person arrive at church at 7:45 am. The students will look for their "Grand" in their designated area. We will have junior high students assisting in this process.  
 
Google Classroom Professional Development
The teachers are continuing to learn more about how to use Google Classroom and to tailor it to each grade level.
