New this year we will be offering Smart Smiles through Ascension here at JPIIA.
Today in Mass Father walked us through the steps and the meaning behind each section of the Mass. As an addition to that Ms. Fay from Sacred Heart came to follow up with grades 4-8 on the order of Mass in the classroom.
Each classroom from now until the end of the month will also be working on their Circle of Grace lessons. This is a requirement from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee to introduce age appropriate topics to students about safe environments and appropriate relationships.
Keep your eyes open on social media this month as I share different saints and holy people of Hispanic Heritage. We will also be sharing a short piece of information about them on morning announcements.
If you would like to volunteer for fieldtrips or at any school event you need to sign up for the Safe Environment training through the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Two upcoming trainings in Racine are listed below.
Monday afternoon we announced our student council and Tuesday I put them right to work. This group is bound to be a strong group of leaders led by Imar our President along with her co-presidents Elias and Melanie. They came to my office with great ideas and will be a key part to our event that we have for our students this Friday.
I feel truly blessed to be a part of this school community. It is in challenging moments that it is all even more apparent. Our students, our families, our staff make JPIIA one of a kind.
Our weekly intention is “I will be patient with others and myself when mistakes happen." We all make mistakes but that is how we learn, some mistakes are small and some are big but each are an opportunity to grow.
SEL lessons have been focused on personal space and boundaries.
Our 2nd graders are working so hard and are so proud of their work. We had two visitors from Siena come through to take pictures of our students hard at work and they could not say enough about the effort our second grade students were giving in their Math class. They were engaged and working so hard. Mrs. Steffen and Dr. Manikham are so proud of you. Here is a high five not only for Melanie but for the whole second grade class.
