For the past several years, the motto of our spell bowl team has been “Tradition never graduates.” It is the perfect motto because on Saturday, November 16th, our Junior Spell Bowl team will compete for a fourth straight State Title.
At their area competition this past Tuesday evening, they put up the highest score of all of the classes, spelling 68 out of 72 words correctly. On Wednesday, when the results were in from all of the different area competitions around the state, St. Roch tied the highest qualifying score for our class. We are very excited for the competition next weekend and are looking forward to watching our Rockets compete for a fourth consecutive title.
The team has worked incredibly hard since August. They practice everyday after school, and then go home and review words each night. They are dedicated and highly motivated and we are so proud of their effort. We are blessed to have Mrs. Mary Ann Chamberlin to coach the team. She is dedicated and passionate about the importance of academic teams. She drives the team to work hard and they thrive under her leadership.
Members of the team include: Landon Ambrosia-Robinson, Kendall Kocher, Quinn O’Brien, CeCe Keiner, Ezra Littell, Michael Riedeman, Sawyer Borders, Lachlan Borders, Nicholas Brand, Maggie Hayes, Simon Alba, Hayden Bauman and student manager Izzy Egan. The Rockets are coached by Mrs. Chamberlin, Mrs. Snyder and Mrs. Riedeman.
Take State Rockets!

Kindermusik at St. Paul Hermitage
|
|
Moms/care-givers of infants and toddlers who are looking for a way to be of service to others have a wonderful opportunity to do so by bringing your little ones to a Kindermusik class at the St. Paul Hermitage in Beech Grove once a week with the senior nuns from the Benedictine Monastery and the senior residents of St. Paul. Kindermusik is a movement and music class for infants and toddlers. Kindermusik Studies have shown that music and movement have positive impacts on not only children but seniors as well. By bringing the Kindermusik experience to the senior sisters and residents, we are able to enrich the lives of children and seniors alike. It is truly a magical experience for all involved. Our classes were a huge success last year and we are offering them again this year. We have room for more little ones. In the class we move, rock, sway, clap, hop, crawl, cuddle, sing and play instruments to music age appropriate for infants up to age 3. Please consider this special opportunity to bring joy to the lives of our senior friends. For more information contact: Jody Treadwell, Director at 317-513-5941
