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

Dear Parents,

I hope that everyone was able to get out and enjoy some of that rare sunshine we saw on Sunday.  Saturday was sure a dreary one, but Sunday made up for it!

Jonah did a great job in the City Wide Spelling Bee!  He came in 19th out of 45 and went out during the 4th round.  It was fun to watch, but much too stressful for me to imagine competing!  Great job and thanks for representing us so well!

Anthony and Chloe Holliday experienced God's presence on Sunday by choosing to be baptized and taking 1st communion.  I am so excited for them and their family.  What great examples to others these two kids are!  Congratulations and welcome!!!

Don't forget Evan has his 1st communion scheduled for next Sunday at 9am mass!

This week:

CRUSH sales continue through Monday.  There is no 7th grade Valentine's party, just to be clear.  I do have a very small Valentine treat for them, so no treats are necessary.  I hope everyone has a great Valentine's day!

Wednesday all graphs (analysis of data) and conclusions are due for science fair.  I had 6-9 students who did not turn in any data and/or research last week.  That automatically counted as a late date on his/her grade sheet.  Please be sure that students are staying on track.  Next week ALL rough drafts are due.  I will be sending out an email concerning those expectations soon.  The directions/expectations are laid out clearly in the science fair packet.

No school on Friday!

Many blessings, Kim

Dear Parents,

What a wonderful week we had!  THANK YOU to all those who helped us celebrate what a great education your children are experiencing!  It was a spectacular, busy, memorable Catholic Schools Week!

This week the students begin his/her opportunity to work on science fair projects.  Please be sure that your child brings in his/her supplies to work on the project.  I am hoping that giving in class time, the projects will all be a little bit more successful.

Friday is the annual ski trip.  It looks to be a really nice day, weather wise.  I hope that the kids have an awesome time learning this new skill or building on the skills he/she already has!  The instructors we have set up are sure to give a great experience!  We will leave around 8:40ish and will be back in time for the 3:15 bell.

Many blessings for a wonderful week!
Kim
