The Foundation of the
Catholic School
"Christ is the foundation of the whole educational
enterprise in a Catholic school. His revelation gives new meaning to life
and helps us to direct our thoughts, action and will according to the Gospel,
making the beatitudes the norm of life. The fact that, in their own individual
ways all members of the school community share this Christian vision makes the
school "Catholic". The
Catholic School, #34

5. Bricks 4
Kidz - It's not too late to
sign up for Bricks4Kidz! Your child’s learning doesn’t need to stop when
the bell rings. At Bricks 4 Kidz™ we believe it’s important to tap into a
child’s potential by encouraging their curiosity and creativity in and out of
the classroom. Our fun-filled model plans designed by engineers and architects
teach children to learn with LEGO™ Bricks. Sessions are on Tuesdays
from 3:30 to 4:30 in Mrs. Monahan's classroom, and the unit is
Amazing Animals! Children who love creatures are sure to be delighted. We’ll be
building models of snakes, insects, mammals and more. Each week we’ll discuss
fascinating facts about the animals we build, from the chameleon that changes
colors to the seal model that waddles across the table. Students will love
these moving models that celebrate the wonders of the animal kingdom. Register
Today at https://my.bricks4kidz.com/index.php?action=classdetail&record=163460 Program costs
will be prorated according to when your child begins the program.
