Welcome back to parents, students, staff and friends! The

Welcome Back Breakfast was a perfect way to start the first day of

school. We enjoyed a cup of coffee and a bite to eat while we caught

up with old friends, and the students chatted up a storm with

classmates they hadn’t seen in a while!

We are excited to be back. This will be a year of learning,

growing and building memories to last a lifetime.

Thank you to Mrs. Renee Wasylyn for organizing the event

and to all the Booster parents who helped! It was wonderfully set-up

and everything tasted so yummy.

One Halloween Night

One Halloween night, I went trick or treating with my friends. We walked up

to a house and all of a sudden a zombie jumped out! It chased us! My friends said,

“Let’s get out of here!” I said, “I will fight the zombie!” And that’s what I did. When

the zombie was gone, a ghost, Frankenstein, a goblin, a vampire and the boogieman

all came after me! I fought them all and won! They left and we went trick or treating

again. I was the hero of Halloween night.

5th Grade Social Studies

Fifth graders have learned that the early Native Americans of the Southwest, like their Anasazi ancestors, lived in pueblos. Did you know that the expression “up the ladder” and “down the ladder” meant “to enter a house?” Look for future installments of our American History Through Pictures series.

8th Grade Science

The 8th Grade has begun

studying the structure of atoms. The first two rows of the Periodic

Table have been memorized,

and our 8th Grade students have displayed their mastery of

this subject matter by creating models on our SMART Board!

Grade Class Representatives

Constantine Pappas

Markella Savas

These 8th

grade scholars have set high goals as a voice for the students. Their campaign speeches

included promises of opening the student store during home games, adding more fellowship events, and

monthly themed free-dress days. Their speeches were polished, their campaign signs were zany, and they

displayed that rare combination of serious leadership and sophomoric humor that I have come to enjoy.

In addition, the newly elected Council Members voted for two 6th

grade students to serve as Class

Representatives on the Council. They will be leaders-in-training with a voice, but no vote. What a wonderful

way to learn while serving!

Please pray that the St. Nicholas Council will continue to demonstrate strong leadership skills, grow as

scholars, and become admirable role models for our school community.
