A note from our Computer Teacher Mrs. Quissell
Welcome back to school! We have hit the ground running in Computer. In grades 3-6th we have been busy practicing how to log in to devices and explore G. Suite tools. In grades, K-2nd students have been learning about the different parts of a computer and its function. The younger students will work to learn all of the different parts of a keyboard. The older students are continuing to work on typing proficiency. For typing games and other age-appropriate computer-related games, check out Mrs. Quissell's site HERE.
Recess Clarification
All Preschool Students will stay out of the playground before school in the mornings. Please drop your child off on the playground on the west side of the school. If it is raining outside before school all K-6th grade students will report to the gym. PS will report to their classrooms.

A Call to Prayer
Thank you for praying. I'm struck by the rising number of sick and the stress upon our hospitals. So many feel helpless, and the temptation to blame is rampant. Our response to suffering is so often inadequate. What is God's response? Where is Christ here and now in the confusion and despair of our day? Together let's keep our hearts open to how God answers with his presence for us and for those who suffer.
Saturday, January 15, from noon-1:00pm, we will have Eucharistic adoration/confession with a rosary and a litany for the sick at Christ the King Church. Please join us.
