Mrs. Laderer and Mrs. D'Angelo had a great Lunch Bunch with the 5th grade girls. They were tasked with building the tallest freestanding balloon tower they could using only body language and gestures. Before heading to a a girl's only lunch in the classroom, Mrs. Laderer lead them in a discussion about what would have made the structure stronger...SUPPORT! We all need to support one another through our words, actions, and prayers during this Lenten season.

🧅😭 We're crying just thinking about this grade 5 science lesson! Mrs. Witkowski explored bulk scale matter vs. particle scale matter with students, & cut up onions to observe chemical reactions. When sliced, stable molecules in the onion’s tissues transform into a volatile, sulfur-containing gas that reacts with the eyes to form sulfuric acid. Cue the itching, burning & tears!

📖 To celebrate #ReadAcrossAmerica Week, Mrs. Baker's 4th Graders participated in a book scavenger hunt! Students searched for different books & read a little bit in the book they found. Many students even checked out the books they "hunted down" to take home and finish reading.
Our students observed #AshWednesday today with an all day retreat. Before Mass & the distribution of ashes, they got together in their #FaithFamilies to complete a service project - hand tied blankets for veterans and those affected by the California wildfires. #SERVICE
