Our next Lower School Outreach project is a really special one! For our Lenten project, we are supporting Celebrate! RVA, which was started by an alum of St. Catherine's, Julia Warren Mattingly. Her mission is amazing and really lives out our school motto, "What we keep we lose, and only what we give remains our own." Each grade level will collect a different item to help make birthday bags. Here is the information for the fourth grade. Our grade level is collecting paper plates and napkins without any characters. Thank you for your help in supporting this amazing cause!
After spring break, Nurse Blanton will begin the Growing Up Healthy class during their science class time. Next week, she will host a virtual parent meeting to discuss the curriculum. The meeting will be on Wednesdsay, February 22 at 7:00 pm. Here is the zoom link for the meeting.
The girls have been working hard on learning about important historic figures during Black History Month. They are charged with reading at least 10 articles from a Newsela text set about different and important people. We will continue this ongoing project through the end of the month.
On Tuesday, the girls visited the Middle School to hear from the world language teachers. They spent 15 minutes with the Spanish teacher and 15 minutes with the Chinese teacher. In the next week or so, you will receive a sign up form to choose their world language for Middle School.
Our second Wordly Wise Dress Up Day was a success. Here are the girls in their creative costumes.
