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.
