School Happenings in April and May

The Alliance for Climate Education presented an assembly for 7th and 8th graders from our school and from St. Catherine of Genoa/St. Therese of Lisieux Academy on May 2, 2012.

 

The presenter from A.C.E. educated the students and teachers on the negative effects of climate change and challenged all of us to "Do One Thing" to change our carbon footprint..

 

 

The May bulletin board on the first floor reminds the students of the wonderful season and the expectation for each student.

 

Our lilac bush will soon be joined by another bush, thanks to Ms. Moreland's participation in the Arbor tree giveaway.

 

Keyonna was baptized on Sunday, April 29th and will be receiving Penance and Holy Communion this month. 

 

 
We are proud of our artists who submitted Earth Day posters to Senator Eric Adams. Tashawn in 5-208, first row left, won first place for the senator's district.

Senator Adams is shown in the photo below when Grade 1 and Mrs. Howell were at the Maple St. Library on Dr. Seuss' birthday. Senator Adams read a story to our attentive first graders.

Celebrating Earth Day EveryDay

At. St. Francis of Assisi School, earth day is everyday. Our patron St. Francis cherished the earth and named the gifts of creation as "Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Brother Fire and Sister Water. The students are involved in recycling, respecting all creatures, including bees and ants, creating garden boxes and cultivating the school Peace Garden. Worms are raised and their castings are put into the garden as fertilizer.

The photos below show a few of the activities which involve the students in learning about respect for the earth. First graders visited Kings County Nursery, Mrs. Crabapple planted flowers with Grades 1, 2 and 3. &th and 8th Graders weeded the front garden and the Peace garden and planted flowers in various areas of the school campus. The "Ecology Club" redsigned the Peace Garden using the stepping stones made by the students 6-8 years ago!! In addition, the Arts and Crafts club made creations from recycled boxes.
