     Most of the fifth grades had outstanding science projects.  The judges selected Arnulfo Contreras and his scientific method of ripening avocados for first place.  Katie Michel’s endeavor to describe the effects of various liquids on a cow stomach in second place.  Lizbeth Crispin found that a bean seed would grow the fastest in third place.  Congratulations!  Get ready for next year!

Catholic Schools’ Week was a great success.  Thank you so much for the cards and gifts.  I did feel appreciated.

Every fifth grader did an outstanding job at the Mass.  The readers, servers, gift bearers, and ushers are all to be congratulated for doing their parts perfectly.  Way to go, Fifth Grade!

The January Students of the Month were Katie Michel and Milena Rankovic.  Katie has been using her higher level thinking skills in class.  Milena has adjusted to her new school and has learned from mistakes and has kept trying.  She also models Christian behavior. Congratulations to both of you.

 Arnulfo, Anthony, Lizbeth, Katie, Milena, Josh, and Lola received the January character awards.  Keep up the good work! 

Catholic Schools’ Week began with a delicious breakfast and Open House on Sunday, January 27th. Katie Michel’s family were the chefs for this great meal. Thank you very much!
