🐰🌷Our 2nd graders are working on job applications... to be the Easter Bunny's helpers! Students chose whether they wanted to apply to be candy makers, egg decorators, egg fillers, or egg hiders, & give justification as to why they're right for that job. How cute!
♟️Our Chess Club had their last meeting this week! Students learned so much about the "gymnasium of the mind" during their weekly matches. Thank you to Mr. Kelly & Mrs. Larson for running the club!

Happy Feast Day of St. Gemma, especially to those SMS students in Miss Kirwan's St. Gemma Faith Family!
St. Gemma was an Italian mystic, called the “Daughter of the Passion” because of her profound imitation of the Passion of Christ & experience of the stigmata, or wounds of Christ. Gemma wished to become a nun, but her poor health prevented her from being accepted. She offered this disappointment to God as a sacrifice. Though quiet & reserved, she always had a smile for everyone. Her symbol is a lily, symbolizing purity. She is the patron saint of students & pharmacists.
Feast Day: April 11
Symbol: Lily
Faith Families are groups of students, each represented by a Saint & led by one of our teachers. These mixed-grade-level groups sit together at school Masses, take turns leading the liturgy, & work together for special projects & events like Catholic Schools Week, Spirit Week & our end of year HSA Picnic.

Our 8th grade class led us in the Stations of the Cross last Friday after school Mass. Praying the Stations during Lent is an excellent way to remind students of the story of Jesus’ Passion, but they are also doing more than just re-telling a story. When students participate in the Stations of the Cross, they are spiritually participating in the event that lies at the heart of Christianity.

¡Una lección deliciosa! Mrs. Hammond's grade 7 & 8 Spanish students ended their food unit by creating menus & presenting restaurant skits. They also made food to share for extra credit, including fruta con Tajin, flan, churros, pico de gallo, & guacamole!
🐝 🌷 🐜 🧺 Our Kindergarten class has been thinking Spring & exploring some of the buzzing and crawling insects that come with it! Miss Gon's students learned all about bees last week, & are practicing their writing skills this week making these adorable ant posters! What would you bring on a picnic if there weren't snowflakes outside today?

1, 2, 3... what number do you see? Mrs. Picone's first graders had fun making numerals with their body shapes on the classroom floor last week. Then Mrs. Picone had to try and guess which numerals they had made! Think you can guess?
