On January 6th and 7th, ninety fourth grade students and seventy-one chaperones traveled to St. Augustine, Florida, to culminate the classroom study of Florida history. In class, the students read about the early explorers and the founding of St. Augustine. It was exciting to see history come alive as the groups toured many historical sights. The students enjoyed a musket demonstration and watched a blacksmith make a nail in the Spanish Quarter. The groups walked through the Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest wooden schoolhouse, the old jail, Flagler Presbyterian Church, and Mission Nombre de Dios. Students also enjoyed learning about Timucuan Indians and early Spanish life at the Old Florida Museum. Everyone climbed 219 steps to the top of the St. Augustine Lighthouse and saw magnificent sights. The students were able to share the love of Christ through their homemade tracks with homeless people in the park. The students were a real blessing to those in need as well as to all the chaperones on the trip. The teachers and administration are all very proud of each student. It was a great trip!

It's Time to Learn Some Spanish
Pre-K and Kindergarten students have been busy learning Spanish with Lola and her friends. Our class is fun-filled with hands-on activities, games, books, and songs. High school and Pre-K students sung together worship songs as our high schoolers were preparing for their missions trip to Mexico. It has been wonderful seeing the kids growing fond of Spanish. I am proud of the progress our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes have made so far.
Feliz Año Nuevo from Mrs. Fahey's class

Having Fun in Elementary Art
With Christmas projects behind us we can now focus on creating fun winter lessons like, penguins, ice skaters, and snow covered hills and trees.
As we strive to reach our new goals, let us give thanks to our Lord, the very one who blesses us with inspiration and who puts those dreams in our hearts and minds.
We look forward to finishing the school year even more creatively than we began it.
