Today in science class, the students conducted a volcano experiment
Students had to ask questions, write a hypothesis, write about what they observed, and then draw a conclusion. The students loved this hands-on learning experience!
Early Childhood Campus Highlight
First quarter was a success for our tiniest students!
Learning-by-doing has helped our students stimulate intellectual, social, emotional and physical development, while keeping Christ at the center of each day. Keep up the good work, Early Childhood Campus!
Intermediate Campus Highlight!
To celebrate the end of a great first quarter the third grade classrooms were transformed into haunted classrooms! The students completed Halloween themed Math challenges, used reading skills to solve a Halloween detective case, wrote some spooky stories, and did a witches brew Science experiment. It was a fun and spooky day of learning!

When your awesome eighth grade science teacher has you make polymers in the lab, and then go outside to let them fly! We love seeing our students have fun while learning!
Farm to Table Elective - Making Grape Juice
Last week, Farm to Table explored grapes and researched how to make grape juice. This week, they put our research to the test! Grapes were washed, mashed and then simmered on the stove before we mashed some more. The grapes returned to the stove for 5 more minutes and then they strained the grapes in a mesh sieve. Some students enjoyed their juice and others did not!
The 4th grade classes had their bible's blessed at mass this morning.
“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’ ” -Matthew 19:14
God bless the 4th graders!
The Early Childhood Campus celebrated their wonderful Moms last week! Each mom was given a wooden cross created by their child to hang in their home. Moms and students enjoyed activities in each classroom. It was a wonderful celebration!
We’re still thinking about how amazing our All Academy Mass was! The sense of community and love for God showed as the entire Academy was together in one place to celebrate the Exaltation of the Cross
