One MOORE thing... (9/14/19)

Parents,
We had a wonderful first full week back at school.  It was filled with testing, student government elections, Back to School Night, and more!  We are off to a great start this year.  The students are happy to be back, the teachers have prepared wonderful learning experiences, and we look forward to the days ahead.  We had a wonderful turnout for Back to School Night and our families and students are making a great effort to be to school on time each day.  I thank you for all the support as we  begin this year together.  Our Discovery Center is getting used even though we are still waiting on a few items so that we can "officially" celebrate.  This week I saw our 8th graders planning and building circuit pieces using LittleBits to make creations move.  As Mrs. Stallsmith said, the kids are "like fish to water" when using these new technology devices.   

I hope to see many of you this Sunday at Mass, until then have a wonderful weekend.
​Ms. Moore

Reminders & updates:

• This Sunday is Catechetical Sunday.  Please join us at 9am Mass as Monsignor Filardi will commission our teachers in their ministry to teach the faith.  Our choir will be singing at Mass as well.  It is a great opportunity for our Our Lady of Lourdes family to worship together and consider how we all participate in the spreading of God's word to others.  (students do not have to wear school uniforms for this event)
• Enrichment clubs are being offered after school through Mr. Long's After School Program.  The math enrichment registration link is on the front page of our website and more activities will be coming soon, including Italian and Art.  
• 8th grade parents who want to enroll their child in the HSPT review classes should do so this weekend, classes start Monday afternoon. Check or cash payments can be turned into Mrs. Stallsmith on Monday morning. Here is the link:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchwDkxMn9wcNS4fNi93lVKSEGXL5pE43KTlkzcKiOO0s_Ydw/viewform
