Today was our Speech Contest for our Middle School students. Earlier in the year Mr. Peak came in and taught them about public speaking for one of their Life Skills Class. Today’s speech was a follow up to that class. Each student was given the topic, “Your principal has asked you to suggest one way of improving St. Mary School to make it a better place for students.” They had to pick one change that they felt would really make a difference and then convince the principal that their idea should be the one to be adopted at St. Mary School. The students had great ideas and were judged on their Introduction, Thesis Statement, Support for their Position, Conclusion, Posture and Eye Contact, Delivery, and Time (it had to be between 3-5 minutes). Every student showed great confidence while giving their speech and it was impressive! The student’s essay that was chosen above the others was Jillian Romano. Jillian would like to see a change in the Special Area Classes. She would like to see more specials added and a change to the scheduling of these specials. Nice job, Jillian and all of the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students! It looks like we have several students ready for the debate team!
The St. Marys Running Team will begin Monday for boys and girls in grades 3-8. Sign-up sheets are attached and are available in the office. If your middle school student does not have a physical on file, they need one before they can practice. They will practice after school every Monday and Thursday until 4:45 and the cost is $25 per student. Mr. Ed is taking a well-deserved vacation and will be gone May 7 – May 15. If you are able to help during the lunch hour while his out, please let me know!
Students will be taking NWEA tests next week. Please make sure your child has a healthy breakfast and is well-rested.
2nd grade swim lessons: Help! The 2nd grade class has two more weeks of swim lessons – we are in need of male chaperones and drivers. Please let us know if you can help! Due to the snow day, the last swim lesson will now be on Tuesday, May 1.
