Catholic Schools Week: Better Late Than Never!

This year’s Catholic Schools Week got off to great start but was cut short due to the blizzard of 2011. The celebration resumed a week later and fun was had by all!

The festivities began with a Bring Your Parent to School contest which gave the class with the most visitors a pizza party. Sixth grader Christopher’s mom Monica was one of our first visitors. Antiquetta, an alumna from the Class of 2005 who’s studying to become an elementary school teacher also liked observing her cousin's Jada's class and reflecting on her days as a St. Ethelreda student.

Some of the activities included Share a Day with Your Student, Spirit Day, “Are You Smarter Than Your First – Eighth Grader?” and more:

Bible Stories: First Grade
First graders chose a Bible story, memorized it and recited it to the entire class…and 16 visitors! The class also won the Bring Your Parent to School contest.

Story Time / Flash Card Game: Second Grade
Class of 2002 alum Danysha visited her cousin Shaun and read to his class and played a brainstorm game. “I really enjoyed it,” she said afterwards.

50 States in Rhyme Sing-a-Long / Sparkle Game: Third Grade Map Making Exercise: Fourth Grade
Mom Teyonye did double duty in two of daughter Heavyn’s classes. She also visited son Trayonne’s seventh grade room.

Are You Smarter Than Your Fifth Grader? / Penny for Your Thoughts: Fifth Grade
Fifth grader Danny’s Aunt Kimberly who’s also an alumna from the Class of 1980 took on the “Are You Smarter Than Your Fifth Grader?” challenge…and won!

Thank you to everybody who participated this year!
