Mrs. Hammond's #Spanish students did a gallery walk last week to read elf biographies. They then had to create their own elf and describe him/her, check out their great work! #middleschool #foreignlanguage #santasElves











Just before #ChristmasBreak, Mr. Ted Luckett did a very special Christmas scavenger hunt with our entire school! Students broke up into their #faithfamilies & searched for clues around the gym, using QR codes to answer questions about Christmas. Activities included singing portions of Christmas songs, naming all #ThreeKings, word searches, & more to uncover the true message of the season- that #Jesus is born for us!











I'm addition to celebrating "Grinch Day" last Thurs., 4th grade enjoyed learning about Colonial Times through collaborative learning centers. They also played Colonial games and "churned" butter!

The fourth week of #Advent is here, & only a few days remain until the Messiah is with us! Remember that God became Man because of His #love for us. You can respond to this love by preparing a hospitable, loving place for Him in your soul.


Grades K, 1 & 2 had snow much fun at their #PolarExpress Pajama Party! Featuring #HotChocolate, snacks, & cookies, it was a perfect way to celebrate the last week before Christmas break. Click the link for more photos: https://tinyurl.com/yv8j27kn
