Kindergarten Easter Egg Fun

Even through the weather was not cooperative for the annual Kindergarten Easter Egg Hunt to be outdoors, the kids still had tons of fun “hunting” for eggs in the gym yesterday!

Movie Night Tomorrow!

/in /by

Come watch “SING” tomorrow (4/7) at Family Movie Night!  It will be a great way to kick-off April vacation and to spend time with friends.  Please see the event flyer here for details and follow this link to sign up.

Parents, please feel free to bring along a chair if you’d rather not sit on the gym floor.  We will also have some chairs for you to use.  We are just asking that all chairs be set up in the back so as not to block the view for the children on the floor.

Spirit Sticks will be sold at Movie Night!  Spirit sticks make great Easter egg fillers so be sure to get a few while your child is busy watching the movie!

3rd Graders Learn About Owls

/in /by

SJS 3rd graders have been learning about small animals and habitats as part of their science lessons. Students are working on researching, writing, and illustrating a short book about an assigned animal. Yesterday, Mrs. Phelan’s class dissected (sanitized) owl “pellets,” as they learned about owls and what they eat (click pictures to enlarge).  The kids were excited to have retired SJS 3rd Grade teacher Mrs. Camposeo come back to join in the fun!  Mrs. Moran’s class will be doing the owl pellet dissection after April break.
