We have been in school for 9 weeks!
I am so very proud of our Saint Joan of Arc Community. We have been in person five days a week for nine weeks due to the dedication of the staff and the hard work of the children and families. That is roughly 25% of our school year!

International Rosary
On Thursday, Mrs. Dvorak and the students in her World Language classes prayed the Rosary. The students have been exploring many languages including Latin, the language of the Catholic Church. When the students learned that Mrs. Dvorak also taught French, French was added to the Rosary as well. The students prayed the Rosary in French, Spanish, English and Latin!

The month of October each year is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary.
Mass is now being live streamed!
We are happy to announce that we are now able to livestream Mass into the classrooms on Fridays!
Great Writing in Grade 2
The students in Mrs. Clark's second grade have been working hard on writing and reading. This week they came up with some great writing based on a nonsense word. They used such great context clues in their writing it was easy to understand what they were writing about. Great work second graders!

Home Room Saints
The students in each homeroom will be studying the saint for whom their classroom is named. Each saint has been chosen carefully by the teachers at Saint Joan of Arc.

Be sure to ask your student about his or her saint in the coming weeks!
The First Edition of our 8th Grade News
Dr. Kucaj has been hard at work creating with a special group of 8th grade students. The students have learned a lot about the process of writing through this writing class from choosing the articles that are meaningful to writing the text. Nice work, eighth graders!
