Day One: Peanut Butter Push Results are in. Siena House and their 1st Grade partner are in 1st Place. Could this little 1st grade Peanut Butter Pusher have anything to do with it?
The Class of 2025 took their high school placement test today. The other picture is of a few faces from the Class of 2033. They were walking back from Adoration on Friday with rosaries in hand looking about as peaceful and joyful as a soul can.
As teachers, we revel in the front row seat we have as we cooperate in preparing minds for the future and souls for eternity.
The Peanut Butter Push benefitting Catholic Charities and the Blue Valley Food Pantry in memory of Cassandra Delmont- Chapman officially starts on Monday 12/9.
Hanging out with 2nd graders is like sitting in the middle of a field of wildflowers.
8th grade students shared their figurative language stories with 2nd grade friends this week. We always love to see the beauty of a K-8 education lived out in these experiences.

"A joyful heart is the health of the body."
Proverbs 17:22
This is a picture of a growing creation in the SHOJ Think Tank. It has become "a thing" so teachers are working around it.
One little artist drew Jimmy the Whale on the whiteboard in the Think Tank… Then one silly teacher added a seahorse named Kenny. Since then, anyone who visits here can see and add on to the goofy masterpiece! Teaching Middle Schoolers is a source of pure JOY.

This beautiful 6th grade soul wrote a poem and shared it with his dad, a Retired Army Veteran, at our Veterans Day celebration last week. I think his poem says it all. God bless our Veterans. God bless America.
"Soldier Spirit"
I thank you for your courage
And your love for the USA,
Your bravery will be nourished,
To today, tomorrow, and every day.
You fought in the trenches,
You fought in the night,
You, we will remember.
You're a soldier for life.
You've seen others fall.
You've seen others die.
Your spirit will live on forever.
Your soul will fly high.
Today is your day.
Be happy and proud.
We all love you.
Your courage stands out in a crowd.
Deacon Nicholas visited with the third graders about vocations. He stressed the importance of prayer in all vocations. He shared the importance of taking time to learn to pray when we are young because prayer is the foundation of all vocations. We should ask God in prayer how He is calling is to serve others. Over time and after practice we start to hear the voice of God in our minds and hearts. He also mentioned a 33 day silent retreat he went on many years ago which was very difficult for our busy little 3rd grade minds to comprehend! 😜
Thank you for sharing your vocation, Deacon.
Middle school students participated in the election process by voting for Pepsi or Coke. The students learned a lot about the electoral college and are ready to vote in a few short years.
