Middle School will demonstrate their winter sport experiences they created. Classes will perform cultural dances learned. Thank you to the band for playing today!
Studying the Countries of the World
Every student designed and painted a flag from the country that their class is studying. Each class then created a hallway display about the culture and customs of the countries across the world.
Middle School Olympic STEM Sport Challenge
Middle School students were challenged to design a new Olympic sport. Showing creativity, collaboration and critical thinking to communicate a new idea is integrated into all we do! Students had to design, build and present the game to the "Olympic Committee" via a video submission. The four winning games were presented at the Closing Ceremonies while the school cheered the student on!

Welcome to the 2018 St. Patrick School Winter Olympic Closing Ceremonies! Almost six weeks ago we met to kick off this celebration of global cultures and customs through art, history, science, music, dance, food, and sport. In addition to our regular curriculum, classes took time to enrich learning experiences and study about the many different nations of the world as they came together for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. Just as the Olympics ended this past weekend, we too end our celebration today. Yet, the learning experiences about cultures will last a lifetime. A Japanese fan dance, counting in German, or Middle School will demonstrate their winter sport experiences they created. Classes will perform cultural dances learned.
