Spring Concert ~ All students have been practicing and are expected to be at the all school music and band concert this Thursday, May 15th. Band students should report to the band room at 6:00pm and all other students should report to the gym by 6:15pm. The concert will begin at 6:30pm.
What to wear: PFO has purchased T-shirts for each K-8 student. They will be handed out the day of the concert. Students are to wear this T-shirt with jeans or other denim bottoms. Please call the office if you have any questions. Recent Fundraisers ~Box Tops $359, Joe's Pizza $122, Pizza Hut $150, Kroger cards $307. Yeah! LUNCH ON THE SQUARE Volunteers still needed ! We need people to grill, serve, set-up and clean-up. At least 4 more adults and 6 older students (grades 5-8). Volunteers would need to be available from 10:30-1:30. Friday, June 6 will be our 5th annual "Lunch on the Square" from 11:00am - 1:30pm on the courthouse lawn. This event is open to the public and we'll be grilling pork burgers as a fundraiser. The last two years we have made over $600 in 2 1/2 hours! In addition, we need all families to provide one large pan of brownies to be served for dessert. These can be delivered to the school the morning of 6/6 or directly to the courthouse lawn by 10:30. Please contact the office or send in a note if you or your children can serve in any way. A look to the future- St. Mary*s School technology committee met several times this past year. Thanks to one very large donation and two more donations, we will be providing St. Mary*s School with state of the art technology. All classrooms will be getting Smart Boards installed over the summer. A Smart Board is a multimedia tool that combines a laptop computer with a highly durable, write-on projection screen. User-friendly software allows teachers to present lessons that incorporate elements from other computer programs and the Internet. They will enable teachers to better address multiple learning styles and enhance the classroom experience for all students. The greatest advantage to having a Smart Board in the classroom is that, whether the child's learning style is auditory, visual, hands-on or interactive, every student can benefit from its use. This summer our bathrooms will be updated. The major improvements include the floors being refurbished, the stalls replaced and new sinks. In June the teachers and I will be attending the second strand of C.L.A.S.S.- Literacy Plan. This strand focuses intently on creating exceptional readers and writers. We will receive instruction on curriculum mapping, how to engage students in literacy, how to differentiate instruction in literacy and how to assess and evaluate literacy.
