St. John Paul II Elementary School -

We had a beautiful Mass this morning celebrating St. John Paul II with Bishop DeGrood. We also had a reception after Mass with the 3rd through 6th graders showing us their recitations. God is good ✝️

Congrats to our $500 Ignite Scholarship winners, Casen and TJ! A special thank you to Reagan Mueller with the Ignite group for presenting the winners with their certificates today after Mass.

Mrs. Olson’s 1st grade practiced counting by 5s with a partner.

Kindergarten has been working on AB Pattern Trains with Unifix Cubes

Our PES Sisters wanted to share some pictures of our time with the younger students last week. They were very attentive to our teaching on reverence in the Mass and during prayer. We shared about how important silence is, to be attentive during mass, and to hold our hands together when we pray. We also reminded them of the importance of being reverent during the consecration during mass and we shared about St. Margaret Mary, as it was her feast day last week. We are so grateful to have the Pro Ecclesia Sancta Sisters, they are so wonderful with our students!

Preschool enjoyed learning about life on the farm last week. Thank you Alley family for sharing what you do on the farm!
