Dear Parents,
We will start our virtual pig dissection this week. The students seem very ready to go! I look forward to seeing how it all goes. There will be one more week after break to work on the virtual and then the real deal will start. I will have use of only one hand so I have asked Rachel Mohrmann (former student and Sue Besler's daughter) to come in and help.
Friday is Jumprope 4 Heart in the afternoon. Please help encourage the kids to make at least a little donation towards heart research. They sure were pumped up when the woman came to talk to them a couple weeks ago.
May you all have a blessed Holy Week! Lots of opportunities to worship and remember all that Christ did for us.
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
I hope everyone was able to pick themselves up and dust themselves off after the very dreary weekend AND that heartbreaking Badger loss on Friday night!
Check out the MAEFAR projects in the hallway. The 7th graders did a great job on the project! It shows their real ability to draw and gather information on 6 different organisms.
This week we will be going over some general body systems in preparation for the virtual pig dissection and LIVE pig dissection. This week should be a review for most students, so hopefully it will be an easy week for them in science.
My math class: PLEASE look at your child's grades. I have some students who are really struggling. By this time in the year I have explained to them that they need to be ready to come ask questions and pursue understanding. I will not seek them out, other than the usual questions and offers I make.
My reading class: Be aware that your child should be working on questions and a character chart throughout the quarter. There are few grades and those will not be given until the end of the quarter. Please make sure he/she is keeping up with the work.
Friday morning we are doing Stations of the Cross led by our family leaders. We will sit in our families and welcome you to join us if you have time. It will begin around 9:00 in the church.
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
A HUGE congratulations go out to all students who participated in the science fair!! ... and the awards go to:
I am proud of all the 7th and 8th graders! I know that it was a challenging and time consuming quarter!
We had a great time on Friday. In the morning we had a representative from the Jumprope 4 Heart Association come and talk to the students. Our Jumprope 4 Heart is scheduled for the Friday before spring break, April 7th. Then, in the afternoon, Trinity Irish Dancers came to perform for us. The students seemed to have a great time!
The 5th graders will be joining the middle school for a day this week! On Thursday the 5th graders will come down the long hallway and go on a "day in the life of a middle schooler" adventure with various 6th, 7th and 8th graders.
I hope you all have a great week! GO BADGERS!!!
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents
THEY DID IT! I am so proud of the 7th and 8th grade students for completing the science fair. I hope that you enjoyed the evening looking around at all the different projects. I was proud of their ability o talk about their projects. We can all breathe a little better, now! The winners will be announced on Friday during Friday Fitness.
The end of the 3rd quarter is this Friday. I can not believe we are heading into the 4th quarter! This year has flown by so fast!
I hope that you all have a great week! Enjoy the snow, probably the last of the season!
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
It is finally the week of the 2017 Science Fair! Although we've had some trials, I think we will end up feeling lots of tribulations! Please feel free to join us on Tuesday from 12:45-3:05 or 6:00-7:30 in the gym. I sent an email out detailing last minute directions.
We have a regular week, with the exception of Science Fair on Tuesday.
Huge thank you goes out to all who helped support Trivia Knight 2017! It was a great success all because of you and your support! It was fun to see so many smiles on so many faces!
Many blessings! Kim

Dear Parents,
What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL weekend's worth of weather! The sunshine sure warmed my heart as I hope it did yours, too!
Congratulations to Evan and his family on taking his First Communion this morning at 9am mass. I've been at St. Dennis for almost 20 years and have never had a single 7th grader take his/her First Communion and this year we've had 2!!! Congratulations again to Anthony Holliday and Evan Robertson!
This week, ALL students will turn in their rough drafts of the science fair paper. Last names of A-G turn it in on Thursday; Last names H-P turn it in on Wednesday; Last names Q-Z turn it in on Tuesday. I look forward to reading and giving feedback on each paper.
I hope you have a great week!
Many blessings,
Kim
