Our 1st graders created the most beautiful Resurrection Gardens as a special home project, and we loved seeing each one they brought in. Every garden included three crosses and touches of purple, reminding us of Jesus’ sacrifice and the hope of Easter.
What made them even more meaningful was the thought behind them. Each student wrote about what their Resurrection Garden helps them remember, and their words were so heartfelt and sincere.
We are so proud of the time, creativity, and care that went into these special projects. πΏπβοΈ

We are absolutely sprinkled with pride! π©
Today, 100% of Mrs. Katchik’s class (1C), met their Accelerated Reader goals! That means… NO UNIFORMS & DONUTS! π€©π
Our readers worked so hard, turned so many pages, and proved that reading is the sweet spot. Enjoy your well-deserved dress-down day and donuts, everyone! π©

Guardian Nation began their week with liturgy, where we welcomed Father Chmil as our celebrant. Student representatives from all grade levels served as readers, cantors, servers, and gift bearers as we celebrated our academic community that is grounded in faith. In honor of one of the greatest Catholic teachers, St. Patrick, each student was asked to write a special intention on a shamrock, which was placed before the altar for a blessing. βοΈ

6th graders celebrated Pi Day with a fun day of math and creativity! Students kicked things off with a lesson and a catchy Pi song, then got to work building a “Pi Skyline” using the digits of pi. They also colored the pi symbol and used their math skills to complete calculations that helped them solve a riddle. And of course, there was eating of pie!

As we wrap up Read Across America Week, we wanted to share Second Grade’s love of reading and the Accelerated Reader program. Throughout the year, students read books and take quizzes to earn dress downs. To date, Second Grade has read over 1,000 books…. And we’re not done yet!

Groovy Reading Vibes!
There is nothing better than seeing a student shine, and yesterday, Jack Sanders, brought the house down—in the best, coolest way possible!
Jack took center stage during Mrs. Nicolai’s (KB) library class to read one of our (new) favorite books: Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin and James Dean.
Watching Jack engage with the class was pure magic. As Pete lost his buttons, Jack didn’t cry—goodness no! Instead, he led the kindergarteners through the catchy, rhythmic phrases, helping everyone count down from four to zero.
We are so proud of you, Jack!!!βοΈ

Grade 2 and Kindergarten were fortunate to have Mrs. Heather Ruseskas as a guest reader during Read Across America Week. Mrs. Ruseskas is a member of the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the oldest chapter in Pennsylvania! (She is also the proud grandmother of Archer (K) and Nora (Gr. 2.) Through her story time, she shared both national and local history stories. She has donated the book “The Biggest (and Best) Flag That Ever Flew” to our school library for all to enjoy!
Thank you, Mrs. Ruseskas, for your time and talents!
