Mrs. Jane Schneider’s Classroom, VLC English, participated in a poetry contest for the Bittersweet Garden Club in Jefferson City. Out of 108 participants, three students in VLC won first place in their division: Brody Bax, 5th Grade; Larissa Rivera, 6th Grade; and Anneliese Careaga, 8th Grade. They also made a quilt about each one of their poems.

My name is Paige Bartow, I’m 21 years old, and this is my first year as a PreK teacher’s aide at St. Peter’s! I attend Immaculate Conception parish with my family, where I am a member of the choir along with my mother. I’ve always loved singing, and was very involved in choir and theater in high school. I also love being creative, and I enjoy a range of artistic activities. My current favorites are sketching, painting, and bookbinding; and one of my goals for this year is to devote more time to working on them. I love animals of all kinds, and my family has two pets; a pit bull/ German Shepherd mix Piper, and a cat Bob. This summer, I am looking forward to being a Totus Tuus missionary for the third year in a row! As a missionary, I have had the opportunity to teach Catechesis to young people of all ages in a way that is fun and engaging; and it’s been an awesome experience. I’m excited for the rest of the year!
