February
On Sunday, January 30th, there was a culminating event for our Dancing Classrooms Program. Dancing Classrooms is a twenty session event for our fourth and fifth grade students to learn Ballroom Dancing. Throughout the ten weeks, the young dancers learned the intricacies of the tango, polka, waltz, meringue, fox trot and swing. In addition to the dances, the curriculum for this program included lessons in courtesy and respect and some history of the dances themselves. This past Sunday, the fifth grade youngsters from all the Cluster schools competed in an event that all the audience could see was great fun for the children. In fact, the audience as treated to brief essays and poems the children wrote to address the challenges and hard work …and fun of the dances. Many of the children were awarded medals honoring their talent. Great job! Catholic Schools Week, January 29th to February 5th, is an annual celebration that honors the partners in our educational journey.. We invite the school community to appreciate the family, friends, teachers and heritage who have contributed to making us great. Please come and join us in our celebrations.
