⚾️ Baseball playoffs are looming! Our JV & Varsity teams are doing well, SMS Varsity players are combined with St. Amelia’s, & our JV players with St. Greg’s.

In drier weather Monday evening, the JV team defeated Nardin 12-5, in part thanks to a Grand Slam from 6th grader Will K.! Logan S. (grade 5) singled scoring one run, Will drew a walk scoring an additional run, and Greyson B. (grade 5) was struck by a pitch, driving in a run. Next up for the JV team is a game against St. Chris on Weds.

Mrs. Hammond's 7th grade Spanish students took part in skits last week that helped them practice ordering food in a restaurant and greeting each other. They even made menus for their "restaurants" and food! Students shared flan, three different types of salsa, and horchata!

Our 4th grade students worked with the Ozobots in Makerspace this week! These small, programmable robots teach students coding & robotics through hands-on activities. Users interact with the robot on-screen to direct its movement & actions, all the while learning fundamental coding principles, computational thinking, & STREAM skills. These activities introduce our students to concepts like sequences, logic, problem-solving, & debugging.

New beginnings.... we wish Mr. Dolan well as he moves on to his next adventure in teaching! We have loved the time he spent as a member of our St. Mary's family as a teacher, coach, and friend. Students and teachers alike showered Mr. Dolan with gifts, treats, and well-wishes today.

Congratulations to these special students who received a virtue award for the month of September! September's focus was "HOPE" & these students exemplified the virtue by trusting in God's loving plan & recognizing the work God can do in their lives.

"For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' - Jeremiah 29:11

We had a VERY LARGE fungus among us this week! Weighing in at nearly 5 pounds, this beautiful de-composer amazed our grade 5 science students. A special thank you to the Marren family for sharing this specimen with the class!

🎨 Our Montessori students were introduced to some exciting new work this week that will help them learn their colors! In a "Color Tablet Survey", one student glues colored construction paper squares to a piece of paper, then goes around the room to ask the others what their favorite color is. In the final step of the work, teachers help the students count the tally marks to see which colors receive the most votes.

If you're interested in a Montessori style Pre-K or Kindergarten experience for your child, attend our Fall Open House on Thurs., Oct. 16th! Click here to register: https://www.stmaryschoolswormville.org/openhouse

Mr. Kelly's 7th grade science classes worked on using their observation skills to collect data for writing their lab reports. Experiments are always better when they involve fire!
