So Much to Be Thankful For

Fifth graders show off their placemats!

This week has largely focused on preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving. Fourth and fifth graders came together to make Thanksgiving placemats for the families in need who will receive the gift baskets.





Over the past few weeks, fifth graders have also led the entire school in our afternoon prayer at dismissal.

Izzy leading us in prayer.

On Thursday, Lt. Lanni visited our class and shared his experiences from his time on the S.W.A.T. team. The students learned about the Baker Bat Shield and were even able to try on a bulletproof vest!






Wishing all of our families a restful, enjoyable Thanksgiving season!

Sports Stacking!

For this week's Community Time, Holy Child students were introduced to the competitive sport, sports stacking. Fifth and eighth graders gathered together to learn the basics of speed stacking with cups, led by a coach from Speed Stacks . They practiced multiple combinations: 3-3-3, 3-6-3, and even 6-6 and 10. The skills emphasized were speed, of course, but also agility and precision to detail. As you can tell from the photos below, the students also had a great time! If your family is interested in purchasing a stacking kit for your child(ren) at home, Mrs. Mossor will be selling the products featured today by Speed Stacks here at school.

Black History Month and Mardi Gras Celebrations!

Fifth graders celebrated Fat Tuesday for Mardi Gras with a King Cake in Religion class! On Monday, the entire school took part in a Black History Month celebration. Here, Ms. Brown leads the middle school in a round of "Finish the Lyric," where they completed song lyrics by Whitney Houston, the Jackson 5, Bob Marley, Beyonce, and more!  At another station, they were given iconic images in black history to recreate through illustration. The best work from each division will be chosen to be posted around the school! At their last station, middle schoolers answered trivia questions about famous figures in Black History. This weekend is the annual auction! We hope you can join us this Saturday evening, February 29  for "A Night in Philly" at the Springfield Country Club. The re-enrollment deadline is next Friday, March 6 ! Please remember to send your registration in by next week.

Random Acts of Kindness Week

This week, Holy Child students celebrated Random Acts of Kindness! The  movement , which has spread nationwide with a special focus this year on the week of Feb. 16-22, encourages students, educators, families, and communities to strive to "make kindness the norm" in every day life.  Fifth graders challenged themselves to think about the ways that they could spread kindness throughout the week both in and outside of school. Maybe you've observed your child go out of his or her way to help out with a chore, sibling, or neighbor? They have been recognizing their good deeds anonymously on our star chart. We will quickly be at 100 acts of kindness, but know that the message behind this movement doesn't end when we've colored in each space and the week runs out. Organized by Ms. Kathol, our director of religious education, each grade picked another class from N2-Grade 8 to surprise with an act of kindness at some point during the week. On Wednesday, fifth ...
