A Message from the Principal...

Dear St. Louis Families,
It has been a fantastic week of instruction! I have thoroughly enjoyed every opportunity to be in the classrooms observing students and teachers this week and particularly excited by the engaging lessons going on. From letter writing with play doh to math data graphing, students are learning using a variety of modalities. Today we had our first PTO sponsored Cultural Arts Assembly, Flow Circus, that provided our K-8 students with a comedic exploration of scientific laws and principles through some hands-on activities. It made for a wonderful enhancement to our STEM classes!
A special thank you to all the volunteers, St. Louis families, and organizers-Tania Jones, Laura Carlson, Grace Reidy Cross, and Carolyn Fortes-who helped make this year’s Hawks 5K and Hawk’s Day such a success. It was so nice to spend time with so many St. Louis families and the added attraction of the FCPS police helicopter made the day even more special. Thank you to the Wallace family for arranging that extra treat!
Just a reminder that Parent-teacher conferences will be held on November 11th and 12th, so teachers are sending home your child's conference time form in folders today and next week. Please be sure to send those back so that teachers can properly prepare for conference days. We look forward to meeting with you as we work together!
Next week brings Halloween (and all the excitement that comes with it!), joyously followed by the holy day, All Saints Day, on November 1st. We will be having a school Mass at 8:45am that morning, and we look forward to having our 2nd graders process into and out of Mass as their patron saints!
Have a wonderful long weekend!
Anne M. Dyke
Principal
