Catholic schools week kicked off with student appreciation day on Monday! To celebrate students were treated with no homework, a movie day, and a yoga class! We have the best students in Junior High. We love and appreciate all of you! Earlier this month in PE students have been focusing on improving their balance, stability, and core strength. During our warm up, students used paper plates as a form of gliders. Students have been engaging their muscles during exercises such as lateral lunges, push ups, knee tucks, plank jacks, and sit-ups with an ab twist. Great effort junior high! The 8th grade is working on creating a product and designing the packaging for one of the seven deadly sins. In designing of the cover they will need to make their box enticing so that it grabs the attention of their target audience. They need to decide on what Advertising Strategy they want to use: Legos, Pathos, or Ethos. On the front of the box they will also create a focal point using one or more of the techniques for placing emphasis on a key image. Their package will need to clearly represent and sell their product. Students modeled the function of the alveoli in a fun science experiment. The Alveoli determines which molecules are Carbon Dioxide, and which are Oxygen, putting each in the correct place. Students used BTB chemical indicators to exemplify the different chemical reactions liquids have to CO2 and O2. In L&L the 8th graders are currently reading the classic, Lord of the Flies! This week they were investigating characters from the the book by putting them on trial for their crimes. Dancing with Class kicked off this week for our 6th graders! We are happy to welcome back Ms. Susanna for the next few weeks to teach us all the joys of dancing! Our students were a little nervous to start out but those nerve were quickly put to rest as we started learning the party dance from the Dominican Republic, Merengue! We ended Catholic Schools Week with our Fun Run! Students have been working hard to raise money for our school to purchase lockers for the Junior High and update our main campus bathrooms. Each student gained pledges for every lap they ran around our school gym so that we could meet our goal and it was great! They turned off the lights and played some music while we ran and ran! we are so happy to announce that we met and surpassed our goal! As a reward, students earned a teacher pie in the face and Ms. Olsen took one for the team! Thank you to everyone who pledged or spread the word. We couldn’t have done it without you! Looking Ahead...
