Prince of Peace School

 February has quickly come to an end!  The students have had many exciting experiences this month.

Students were challenged to read t books in four weeks by the Florence Freedom.  Each book they read they earned a ticket to the ballpark.  Several have 6 and 7 tickets coming to them!

Students had the opportunity to go to the Aronoff and experience the wonderful, inspiring story of Anne Frank. 

Several students received "Straight A" tickets to the Cincinnati Reds.

Of course, February also brought many disruptions by way of Mother Nature wilh delays and snow days!  Students have had a hard time staying focused and getting their work finished.

Camp Kern will be coming up at the end of April.  Just a reminder, that this is a privilege not a right.  Students have agreed that they must work and not receive more than 20 "red" cards. This will be strictly enforced! 

Students have finished another book and are reading one aloud in class.  Both books have had the background of WWII which we are studying.

March will start by testing the seventh grade with the Terra Nova, an achievement test.

Students are beginning to get ready for their living stations.  Friday before Spring Break will be their presentations in the gym  All are welcome.

 Friday is the last day of the Second Quarter.  You will receive the reports cards on Wednesday.  Please look for it.

Students are reading either NIGHT or WOLF RIDER.  Each group has a schedule to read and assignments to do.  Please check if your child is up-to-date.

WICKED tickets are now on sale -- $10.00.  Please send money and permission slip in by Wednesday.  If we have extra tickets we need to sell them.

January is a busy month--

January 30 -- students will be going to Xavier for a nurtional day and a  women's basketball game.

Also, January 30 is our night at the Aronoff.

Today is the first day I'm able to post some of our activities.   I hope you like our new web site.  Mr. Nienaber has worked hard to get it up and runnng.

First, I want to thank you for supporting are many fundraiser of the past few months -- candle, candy, and spaghetti dinner.  Most students have already raised their $125.00 for the Camp Kern trip.  A few students will need to find a way to raise money or pay the difference.  Ask your child how he/she stands.

We have already purchased tickets for WICKED for January 30th.  The tickets actually are $30.00.  We are asking each student to pay $10.00 for the ticket if he/she helped with the bake sale.  We have received several donations to help defray the cost of the tickets. 

The students have been busy reading!  Many have reached a goal of 10 books for the first semester. 

The students are beginning to prepare for the Diocesan Academic Competiton in March.  The competition for storytelling is January 11 and for the persuasive speech is January 18.  Each student must prepare one of these.

It has been a wonderful first semester and I know the second will be even better. Thank you for entrusting me with your children

I  hope you each have a very blessed and wonder filled CHRIST mas!
