Fourth grade getting ready to honor our veterans with our aspire buddies.
This past Saturday, 8th grade oboe player Allie Kruk was the first student in our school to represent us at Olivet Nazarene University for the ILMEA District Concert Festival. This was extra work done outside of school to prepare for auditions to be selected. Fantastic job, Allie!
Dr. Craig Wilson, the Director of the USDA Future Scientists program and a professor at Texas A&M, came to teach our Saints today! Dr. Wilson gave presentations to the PreK-5th grade students and then worked with the junior high during their STEAM classes.
Dr. Wilson and Mrs. Stanko will be working with a select group of students this year on a project for the USDA. The students will complete a research study, and then have the chance to present it to the scientists at the USDA-NCAUR in the spring!
Second grade used Sphero Robots this week! They learned to connect them with Bluetooth! Thank you to the University of Illinois Agricultural Extension Office for sharing these cool resources!
Working hard with our partners to find our fiction story elements or "story stones".

This Friday, November 8th, all students are allowed to wear a RED shirt in honor of R.E.D. Day (Remember Everyone Deployed.) Students are asked to donate $1 to help purchase wreaths which will be laid on the graves of soldiers for Wreaths Across America.
Thank you for supporting our heroes!
Reminder: Pick up your Saints at 2:15 today!
Thank you to all who have shared the names of loved ones with us.
“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”
The Junior High Aspire students learned about the voting process! They have made google slides on leadership and created a leadership coat of arms! Today they chose to campaign for extra recess or a treat for the class. They had to present, support, fill out a voter registration card, complete the ballot and finally design their "I voted!" sticker. One class came down to the last vote as a tiebreaker!!! Your vote matters!
Chess Club begins next week! Students of all playing levels in grades 3rd-8th welcome! Please see Mrs. Wilson's newsletter for the permission slip. Email Mrs. Stanko with any questions at astanko@corpuschristisaints.org!
5th Grade enjoyed their Composer Graveyard scavenger hunt in Music this week! They learned about Mozart, Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, and Handel!

Mrs. K's 2nd grade has been learning about the sacraments. Last week we shared about our own Baptisms, but this week we are learning about the Holy Spirit and Confirmation. We sure are lighting a fire under our faith this year!❤️🔥
8th grade has been studying hydroponics in STEAM. Last week, they created their own wick hydroponic systems, and they are already growing lettuce!! We are excited to "eat our homework!" 😁
