Full STREAM Ahead for our 1st 2018-19 Enrichment Day!
It was full STREAM ahead for our first 2018-19 enrichment day. The half day was jam packed with activities for all of our budding scientists. See below for the highlights or click
HERE for our STREAM day photo gallery.
- Our Prek3- 1st grade students were wow'd by "Wildlife on Wheels" courtesy of the Houston Museum of Natural Science. They also put their wildlife wisdom to work by camouflaging critters, designing "glow-bugs" and more.
- The 2nd-8th grade students concentrated on "Cool Chemistry" , also produced by the Museum of Natural Science. They also had some hands on fun rotating through stations that explored concepts such as "Venomous or poisonous?" "PH problems" "Magnetic Madness" and more!
We're already preparing to "Blast Off" to our next enrichment day November 2nd! This action packed half day will have loads of amazing activities for everyone! Volunteers WILL be needed - please be on the look out of the sign up.

NEW INFO Grandparents'/Special Guests Day - November 16th, 2018
|
St. Cecilia Catholic School’s annual “Grandparents’ and Special Guest Day” will be on Friday, November 16, which is a change from prior years. The living rosary will remain in October and not be included as part of this event. In addition to the new date, we are revising the format of this special day. Below are the highlights:
- The day will begin with Mass in the Church (as is held each Friday morning), followed by a reception and program in the Community Center, and lastly an opportunity for Grandparents and Special Guests to visit the classrooms.
- Please note that if a grandparent is unable to attend, a special guest (i.e. an aunt, uncle, family friend) is welcome to attend in their place. We do kindly ask that parents and siblings not attend as special guests. If a grandparent or special guest needs assistance, we understand that accompaniment may be necessary by a parent.
- This is a noon dismissal day – so the day will be complete by 12PM. Please note – there is no Bridges this day as it is the day before the Thanksgiving holiday break. Students need to be picked up in homeroom at noon dismissal.
- Invitations are in the process of being mailed to Grandparents (for those Grandparents whose information was provided to the school during the enrollment / re-enrollment online process).
- If you would like to register Grandparents or Special Guests to attend this day you can do that online HERE.

JV won all three games! Congratulations to Players of the Game: Casandra H. against St. Francis de Sales, Mia W. against St. Laurence, and Olivia M. against St. Vincent de Paul. Way to stay RED HOT, JV!

Calling All Musicians!
We are looking to gauge interest in an After-School Symphonic Orchestra program at St. Cecilia, potentially in collaboration with a few other schools in the Bunker Hill area. This ensemble will be open to 5-8
th graders who play an orchestral string instrument (Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass), Woodwinds (Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone), Brass (Trumpet, F. Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba) and Percussionists. If you are interested in joining up with this group, please
fill out our interest form – we’ll be reaching out to interested students directly.
This ensemble will be led by
Mr. Edgar, our new music teacher, – a veteran band director, who has taken ensembles to national music festivals in San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Carnegie Hall. We are looking into participating in some local music festivals such as the Texas Private Music Educators Association events, as well as a potential trip to the Schlitterbahn SoundWaves Music festival in the spring.
We’re looking for any and all students with any level of experience on an Orchestral instrument, and who are looking to be part of the founding class of a brand new organization at St. Cecilia – We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
