Saint Kateri Tekakawitha visited the kindergarten classes last week to discuss her extraordinary life as the first Native North American woman to be declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. St. Kateri and the students spent time discussing everything they’d been learning in social studies about the various tribes in North America, including their clothing, homes, and customs.

Our third grade students had the privilege of being audience members for Mrs. Kaschyk’s sixth graders as they performed a choral reading of “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare. The third graders recently completed their Ancient Rome domain and were excited to hear the story of Julius Caesar retold. Their favorite part was the death of Caesar! This partnership between 3rd and 6th grades is a tradition our student look forward to year after year.

Our 7th grade students have been very, very busy in religion in recent weeks. Last week, bishops, heretics, and even the Pope were in 7th grade religion class to research and present early Christian heresies. Students used iMovie and whiteboards to retell parables of Jesus.
