Dear Parents,
HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY! A huge THANK YOU goes out to all who have served to keep us safe and free!
I hope everyone enjoyed the windy weekend! The leaves are almost all on the ground and I've seen lots of frost on the ground early in the morning. The kids shouldn't be wearing their coats in the classrooms. I would recommend sending in an extra sweatshirt that they can leave in their locker when it isn't on him/her.
Thank you to all the parents who helped pull off yet another great prize fest! :) I know that the kids sure appreciate that fun event.
PLEASE send in some non-perishable items to help support our local food pantry. We are collecting food during the month of November to help stock the pantry for Thanksgiving. Students are allowed to wear hats on Friday if they bring in .50 to donate towards the collection. They can also just donate money to help us earn feathers to put on our turkey in the hall. Please check the principal's update for all the details.

November 25 AND December 2 (all in one this time)
Dear Parents,
I made an executive decision tonight and decided to combine this week and next week's posts. I thought it might be helpful as the weeks after Christmas break are going to be crazy busy!
Science genetics projects will be returned on Monday, November 25th. I am really impressed with the quality of the work. Please take a look at the projects we hung up on the windows of the science lab. I will get those grades posted on mystudentsprogress early this week.
Tuesday is a very full day. We will be eating in the gym as an entire school. PLEASE, if you plan to join your child (ren) and plan to eat, email Mr. Bill for a head count. (stdhotlunch@gmail.com) After eating and a short break for recess the students will be rewarded by getting to watch a movie. We have not chosen our movie, yet. Any good ideas?
The following week we jump into Advent by having a short prayer service each Monday morning. I have not heard details yet, but if and when I do, I will add a post here. We have careers scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. BINGO is on Thursday night. (We had a great turn out on this past Saturday night for turkey bingo!) Please feel free to join us at 5:30 for our first round of 8 games! The morning of Friday, December 6th the students will have a guest speaker/teacher for business ed class. His name is Jim Weber and he is a parish member. He will work with us for several weeks on the beginnings of starting a business and general accounting concepts.
Friday, December 6th is Craft Day. Our very own, Mary Banovetz is in charge of the whole production. THANK YOU for all your efforts and thanks also go out to all who helped in any way to pull off this great afternoon for the kids.
Reminders:
*Sounds like last Friday was a great day for all. The Kalahari trip went well and the Chazen art museum was enjoyed by those who attended. Thank you to Mr. Beisser for organizing the Kalahari trip and Mrs. Brochtrup for organizing the art museum trip. Special thanks to Ms. Polzer who accompanied on the Kalahari trip and Ms. Pitz who went on the art museum trip. Congrats to MG on their football win at State! Also, Ms. Salwedel (Sam's older sister) will be married on Thanksgiving day, so we wish her well as they all left on Friday to prepare for the wedding festivities.
*Eligibility will begin Monday, December 6th. Teachers will check in with me about eligibility each Monday and coaches/parents/principal will be notified no later than 3:30pm each Monday of any eligibility issues. Ineligibility will last from Monday to Monday. The student will be encouraged to watch practice and attend games to support their teammates.
*Emma made it through surgery and sounds like things went well and are healing up quickly.
*Christian will be going to Mayo for a month long treatment. This will begin in early January. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Also, please pray that the doctors are able to figure out what is wrong and are able to correct it.
*Thank you all so much for sharing your children with me. I am truly blest beyond imagination by the St. Dennis family. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you always!
Many blessings!

Dear Parents,
Thank you to those who have sent in items to be donated towards our food drive and our collection for the Philippines. I am challenging each child to look through their closets and come up with 5 pieces of clothing they would be willing to donate. Please have them bring them in early in the week. Having two students in our class who have direct ties to that country, I would hope the 7th graders might take a little more interest in this collection.
The genetics project (including the self assessment) is due on Thursday at the end of class. So far I have seen most students working on the project, but they are not very far. I hope to see some creative projects ready to be turned in on Thursday!
We have a pretty normal week until Friday. There were permission slips, that went home last Friday, for the Kalahari award trip. Many students earned this trip. Be sure to get the slips signed and brought back to school.
There is talk of an art field trip on Friday, as well, but I am unsure of details. Please keep a close eye out for more information on the possibility of this trip! (Mrs. Brochtrup is in charge of the planning, so truly I can't answer questions about it.)
Next Saturday night after church is TURKEY bingo! We would love to see you there. First game begins at 6:45pm in the upstairs of the Parish Center. Hope you can make it!
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
AAAHHHHHH, it is NOVEMBER! I can hardly believe we are into our 2nd quarter already. It seems your kiddos just came for Gear Up Day and now we are almost to Thanksgiving! Crazy! Guess time flies when you are having fun! :)
This week:
Monday: We will continue our learning about genetics. The next project will be an individual project. It will be assigned by the beginning of next week.
Tuesday: Edgewood students will visit at 10:00 to talk about their experiences at Edgewood. Some former St. Dennis kids will talk with our students about the choice to possibly attend Edgewood.
Wednesday: Mass at 8:45. Families in the afternoon.
Thursday: BINGO starts at 6:30. This is always a night of great fun! It would be wonderful to see your family there.
Friday: I believe the magazine sale Prize Fest is in the afternoon.
Many blessings for a great week!
Kim
