100's Day!

Believe it or not, the first graders have been in school almost 100 days.  It seems like we were just unpacking our supplies and getting started, how quick the time goes.  We will 100's Day with the kindergartners and second graders on Friday, February 6th.  The students will be rotating through several different learning stations  centered around the number 100. We will end the day with a special 100's Day snack.  Be sure to ask your child about their day.

Happy Catholic Schools Week!

It is finally here!  This week seems to be the kids favorite time of the year.  Here is a brief run down of the weeks events.

Sunday:  10:30 Mass followed by an Open House at school (open to the public). Bring a friend and show them what wonderful things we do at St. Mary's

Monday: Pajama Day and a free pancake lunch for all students
Tuesday: Neon Day and bowling at River's Edge Bowl in the afternoon
Wednesday: Twin Day and Mass

As our service project for Catholic Schools Week, we will be competing in a Penny War with the other Catholic Schools in Janesville in grade level teams of Pre-K-2, 3-5, and 6-8 not individual schools to help raise money for Camden Playground.  The grade level team with the most money will win a play day at the playground and park.  Bring in your spare change to help out!


Thank you for all of your support for our fabulous school, we make a great team!

Welcome Back!

We were finally able to have a full week together.  Looking ahead, it seems the weather is going to cooperate for another great week.  Please remember to send all of the necessary snow gear for recess.  The kids are having a great time building various snow forts and hideouts in the snow hills.  It is wonderful to see all of the teamwork that is involved in the process.
