Science Fair A Success

This week, our junior high students presented their Science Fair projects for public display. I hope that you were able to see the display last night, and that you were as impressed as I am by the students' work. Clearly, the students understood the scientific process - how to pose a question, generate a hypothesis, test it with independent and dependent variables, and then summarize in the conclusion. Bravo, students and teachers!

Junior High Watches History Being Made

Yesterday our junior high school students joined me, Msgr. Halfpenny, their teachers, and many school and RE staff in the Canfield Center to witness history being made. We prayed together a prayer for our new President before the inauguration, and then we watched the entire inauguration ceremony together. I mentioned to the students what a blessing it was to have the opportunity to watch this together with them, as I had watched the funerals of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy at my Catholic elementary school - can it really have been so many years ago?

Sister Diane's all-day kindergarten class recently made their own counting beads. Ask the students to show you how to use them!
