Annual Fund Update

The Annual Fund committee is offering a fun and exciting reward for every class that reaches 100% participation, a Kris Cakes Pancake Breakfast for the whole family!  Each family's gift to the Annual Fund helps your student's class toward that goal.

The toddler class is in the lead with 46% family participation.  Trailing closely behind is the sixth grade class which has 45% family participation.  A single Annual Fund donation made by a family with multiple students will count toward each of your students' class reward!  We are counting on everyone to help spread the word!

Quixotic Fusion Performance
Prekindergarten through 8th grade students enjoyed a Cultural Arts performance titled, "Quixotic Fusion" on Tuesday, Nov. 13. "Quixotic Fusion" is an ensemble of artists from various disciplines including aerial acrobatics, dance, fashion, film and music. We want to thank our Cultural Arts Liaisons, Michele Stowers, Amy McAnarney and Julie McCann for arranging this exciting fine arts performance for us this year.   

  7th Grade Wax Museum









On November 7th, Mr. Stewart’s 7th grade American History classes presented the annual St. Paul's American Revolution Wax Museum. As part of the American History curriculum, students researched and portrayed many well known and not so well known historical figures from the American Revolution. Students shared a one minute oral presentation and poster detailing how their chosen individual contributed to the cause of liberty. Many thanks to students for their hard work on this project.



King Arthur Feast


The Lords, Ladies and special friends of King Arthur’s Camelot celebrated a merry feast on November 16th.  Students in 6th grade culminated their unit on Medieval Europe with a gala celebration of food, dance, storytelling, music, knighting and revelry.  Thanks to all the teachers in art, music, reading, language arts and social studies classes and to the parents for assisting in this living history project.  HUZZAH!



PreK Skype
On Friday we had the special opportunity to Skype with "Ms. Libby", a Flight Director for the Challenger Space Learning Center out of Illinois.  She answered tons of space related questions for us and showed us some really cool space pictures.  This was a wonderful way for us to culminate our space unit!
