Dear Parents,
YIPPEEE!!! The Badgers are in the Final Four! I am so excited for them! GO BUCKY!
I hope everyone got out and enjoyed the wonderful sun this weekend! I am sure hoping that we will be able to get out into the garden and do some cleaning up out there. The weather has been so unpredictable, but I did see some little bitty green "things" poking up through the ground! :)
This week is the first week of the 4th quarter! Can you believe it? Crazy we are heading into the last quarter! Your kids are almost ready to take on the big job of becoming the leaders of the school. I am proud to say that they are just about ready to go! :)
Wednesday is mass. Please feel free to join us if you can! It is a pleasure to watch the bigger kids work with those little ones. They do a great job!
BINGO is Thursday night beginning at 6:30. I hope to see some people there! We've had smaller and smaller crowds and it would be fun to see some families there this month! If you can't make it Thursday, there is BIGNO on the 12th of April as well.
Report cards come home on Friday. You only need to sign the envelope. You can keep the report card to post on the refrigerator to celebrate or motivate, either way it is good for kids to remember the importance of their efforts throughout the quarter.
SCRIP orders are due on Tuesday by 10am. The athletic committee is also selling America's Best cards.
Have a great week and GO BADGERS!!!! :)
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents
I can't believe as I sit here writing this that they are saying there might be snow tomorrow evening! I am so ready to get outside and get my hands a little dirty in that garden of ours! Guess I will be waiting a little longer.
This week:
The end of the quarter is Wednesday. Report cards will come home the following Friday, April 4th. You can always keep up with your child's grades by logging into mystudentsprogress.com and take a look. If you are unsure of how to log on, please email me and I will send you more specific directions.
There is nothing else special going on this week. Lots of projects, etc... will be due sometime this week so that they can be added to 3rd quarter grades. You may want to visit with your student about that as I am unsure for most classes.
The stock market game the students are playing in business education class is going really well. The students seem to enjoy working with a mixture of 6th, 7th and 8th graders. It is fun to watch their interactions and listening to the discussions. They sure have learned a lot through this game and through this year's experiences in this class.
SCRIP still seems to be an unused opportunity by most. I would encourage you to try it just once to see how easy it is.
The pig dissection is drawing near! We will begin with a virtual dissection using the computer program called Froguts. We are hoping to use the ipads, but are unsure at this time if we may just use the computers. We will start the virtual pig dissection on April 7th. I am so excited to see this class work through this annual experience. The 8th graders are really helpful in "talking up" the experience to help lighten the fears and disgust! :)
Have a great week and many blessings,
Kim

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you feel the "luck of the Irish" today! :)
Science news articles are due for 7th grade on Tuesday. Be sure those are turned in on (or before) that day. There will be no late articles accepted.
Try and order a SCRIP card or two. Our class has very few families who order SCRIP (or at least orders that go home through the 7th graders) and I would love to see that basically free money help our school and you with your tuition. Please look into the endless possibilities! SCRIP link
Mass is Wednesday. Please feel free to join us!
We are nearly at the end of 3rd quarter. Please be aware of the new "late" work policy that will be instated for the 4th quarter. The students will be coming home with a copy for you to read and sign.
Many blessings for this week!

Dear Parents,
A HUGE bunch of thanks go out to all the people who helped with Trivia Knight! We had such a great time!
This week is our 1st full week of Lent!
Monday: 5th grade shadow day; 7th graders need to bring a large bag/box of Fruit Loops for a "families" activity; Lenten Mission at 6:30 in church
Tuesday: All articles are due if they want to be counted for the extra credit opportunity; Lenten Mission at 6:30 in the church
Wednesday: several students gone today for various reasons... be sure to contact someone about the work you missed
Thursday and Friday look pretty "normal"
I am sorry the update is so short... still trying to get all caught up on school work after a crazy end to the week and a very busy weekend. Have a great week and know that I pray for you all every day!
Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a great weekend! "MY" boys won a very exciting game against Kansas on Saturday night. Proud of UW's win on Sunday, too!
POW: (Plan Of the Week)
Monday: normal day
Tuesday: FAT TUESDAY! Enjoy all the yummies you can find! :)
10:30-11:10 is an all school assembly in the gym.
Ash Wednesday: Good-bye Alleluias! Mass is at 8:45 in the church. The church will be full as there are only 2 masses held at St. Dennis that day. I hope you are able to join us!
Thursday: OOOOOOOKLAHOMA! We are attending the musical at LaFollette High School. We have several former students involved in the musical and I can hardly wait to see it! We leave at 8:15 on Thursday. Bus riders should be fine, but everyone else MUST be there by 8:10 or so, please. ***STUDENTS MUST WEAR THEIR UNIFORMS!***
BINGO is upstairs beginning at 6:30. Hopefully you can stop and play at least the first session.
Friday: normal day
Trivia Knight is PLEADING FOR HELP!
Please come help us set up for one of our 3 big fundraisers beginning at 7pm in the gym. We really need as many volunteers as we can find. We will be setting up 40 tables and 320 chairs. It will hopefully go very quick if we have more hands!
Many blessings,
Kim
