The preschool and kindergarten students came to the library today to read How the Grinch Stole Christmas. We had a special guest make an appearance. It was the Grinch himself! He helped with the story, did some activities, and even received many hugs. He also stopped and visited all the students in the classrooms. Thank you Mr. Grinch for stopping by our school!
Also, a special thank you to the New Horizons Chamber for making this happen!

K-2 spent time together today in Thanksgiving themed rotations. They enjoyed BINGO, BeeBots, and a movie. During the BeeBot rotation, students used their knowledge of coding to program the BeeBot to complete Thanksgiving related tasks…such as picking up the foods to take to Grandma’s for Thanksgiving!
While you wait for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, enjoy our 3rd annual Kindergarten Thanksgiving Parade!

St. Joseph School is ready for Little Light of Mine! Thank you to the 7th grade boys for helping to get the banner in place last week before the snow!

Jesus loves the little children…and so do we! Kindergarten students used the profits from their apple stand to purchase items to create Jared Boxes for children visiting MercyOne in New Hampton. We are grateful to our customers that made apple stand purchases and our school and community members that donated extra money to our cause. We were able to make a bigger impact because of you! If you missed this opportunity and are looking for more ways to help out the children in our area, our kindergarten cocoa stand proceeds will go toward purchasing books and pajamas for the Pajama Program. This program helps children facing uncertainty to have cozy nights with books and pajamas. Finally, our kindergarten Valentine stand proceeds will go toward Kindness Square Inclusive Playground, so all of our friends can enjoy playing together in a safe space for all.
