Grocery Store Fundraiser

Posted on March 11, 2010, by Admin, under Fundraisers.

Did you know that Tom Thumb donates a portion of your purchases to St. Elizabeth School? Tom Thumb has community programs to donate 1% of every dollar you spend at their store back to St. Elizabeth School.

But, they do not donate to St. Elizabeth unless you sign up for their program and designate St. Elizabeth as your beneficiary.

To participate in:
Tom Thumb – St. Elizabeth’s number is #648. Turn in a completed application at your Tom Thumb store; they will give you a Reward Card, present that card to the cashier during your transaction. To change or verify the designated beneficiary of your current Reward Card, ask the cashier during your transaction.

The more people that designate St. Elizabeth as their beneficiary school the more dollars St. Elizabeth earns to help defray the costs of tuition.

Thank you for participating in this fundraiser.

Right now a moment of time is passing by! We must become that moment.

Artist of the month Paul Cezanne

PK & Kinder – Mrs. Barrientos

It is almost Christmas in the art class for Pre-K and Kinder – I hope that you are enjoying our little projects as much as I am. As you have noticed we are concentrating on seasonal projects. We will be working on a snow man made out of paper plates and cotton balls.

3rd & 4th Grade – Mrs. Connelly

Students were introduced to still life. Students explored lighting, shadowing, perspective, texture, shapes, color, and size. Charcoal was the medium used in students’ still life drawings.

1st, 2nd, 5th–8th Grade – Mrs. Shelton

The students will be making Christmas cards, and working with pony beads to make candy canes and wreaths.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from your Art teachers!

I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.

Joan Miro, November Artist-of-the-month

PK & Kinder – Mrs. Barrientos
Our rainbow fish are very cute!  We are currently working on a tissue paper collage.  They are practicing gluing squares of different colors of tissue paper into a printed elephant.

We will be talking about fall colors and working on our fine skills by tearing pieces of construction paper and putting together a collage of different colors in our cornucopias for Thanksgiving.

I hope you are enjoying your children’s art project as I am enjoying working with them.

3rd & 4th Grade – Mrs. Connelly
After discussing Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism and looking at artwork by Joan Miro and Wassily Kandinsky, students practiced drawing images in the style of Miro and Kandinsky.  Students will also put the finishing touches on their ancient coins.  Thanksgiving is just around the corner so students will be starting projects that have a Thanksgiving theme.

1st, 2nd, 5th-8th Grade – Mrs. Shelton
The 1st and 2nd graders are weaving place mats.

The 5th and 6th graders are completing their charcoal still life.

The 6th and 7th graders are putting the finishing touches on their stain glass project and will began still-life painting.

Mrs. Barrientos, Mrs. Connelly and Ms. Shelton are looking forward to meeting parents this Friday at Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall 2009 Parent Satisfaction Survey Results

Posted on November 11, 2009, by Admin, under Parent Satisfaction Survey.

Number of returned surveys: 89

Average Rating: 8.85

The survey used was developed by the Institute of School and Parish Development, and is an instrument used by Catholic school administrators across the nation.  A rating of 7 out of 10 is considered an ideal score.

Comments:

• Quality Catholic Education with high level of Excellence/Excellent teaching/Well rounded Education, students are academically challenged and well prepared for high school (30)
• Great teachers, administration, & staff who really care about their students (19)
• Close knit family atmosphere with parent involvement/Nurturing, supportive, safe environment (16)
• Strong Catholic tradition & values (6)
• Excellent communication between school and home/School is well organized and structured (5)

There was no overwhelming issue, or concern, presented by a significant number of families.  All other comments and suggestions appeared only once or twice, with the exception of five comments dealing with the cost of tuition.

All suggestions have been taken into serious consideration in making improvements to our educational program here at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic School.

Our school administration and Advisory Council are continuing to explore ways to try to keep tuition costs as reasonable as possible for our families.

Thank you for your participation in our Summer/Fall Parent Satisfaction Survey!

The next survey will be conducted in February 2010.

• Welcome Saints

  

  Welcome to the parents' online newsletter for St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic School. Published monthly from September to June, this is the place to read all the updates from our teachers, school administrators, and organizations.

• Mission Statement

  Our mission at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic School is to serve God through our ministry of educational excellence and to develop the spiritual lives of our youth within the framework of the Gospel and the tradition of the Catholic Church.

• Philosophy

  Our fundamental task is the education of the whole child, combining learning with faith, Catholic doctrines and moral teachings. We strive to instill in our students a lifelong commitment to learning, to Christian values and citizenship, and like our patroness, to community service. We are dedicated to achieving these goals within a supportive and diverse Christian community and to living our faith daily with the understanding that education is a process that never ends.
