FINE ARTS EVENING                      April 22, 2010   

Once again, the Auditorium was transformed into an Art Gallery featuring the talents of all of our young artists at St. Boniface School.  It was quite obvious that Mrs. Kampel has been keeping everyone busy learning and creating in Art class this year!  In addition, everyone had the joyous experience of hearing some great musical selections when Mrs. Cooper directed our 4th & 8th Graders in presenting “Spirituals, Gospel, Praise”.  We thank all of our Staff members for making this evening possible and all of our families and friends who came to celebrate the arts with us!                               

 

A Marian Prayer Service took place on Friday, May 10th to honor Mary, the mother of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Students processed from the school to church and each one carried a flower to place at the foot of the statue of Mary.  Mary serves as a role model for all of us by accepting God’s will for her life without question or hesitation. 

      

 

This was the second year for this program which connects mentors from organizations and businesses with each of our classes.  Letters are exchanged throughout the year and the groups meet 2-3 times for an activity or party.

This year, Grades K-4 had their Mercy Blazing Bobcat Buddies from Mercy High School.  Students in Grade 6 teamed up with the law firm of Robbins, Kelly, Patterson & Tucker and the 7th Grade met new friends from Catholic Health Partners.  The Northside Bank was paired with the 8th Grade students.

This program was enjoyed by participants on both sides and it is the hope to expand this program next year.

 

MANY THANKS TO MERCY HIGH SCHOOL AND OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS

FOR MAKING THIS A SUCCESSFUL AND FUN YEAR!

R.A.P.P. Awards (Respect Authority Peers Property)

The RAPP Awards were started in February of this year.  This is a special recognition because it is peer driven; students vote for their fellow classmates who best demonstrate respect for authority, their peers and everyone’s property. This happens every 2 weeks and the students’ pictures and names are posted on the swinging bulletin boards in the main school hallway.

Our most recently recognized students are:

We are most grateful to Master Sun Park for implementing this program at St. Boniface School this year, to Physical Education teacher, Mr. Eric Greiser for integrating the program into his curriculum, to Sister Joanne Braeunig, RSM for securing grant money for the program and to our generous benefactors!  We expect this program to be continued next year and Sister Joanne is presently working on funding for 2010-2011.

  

An attitude of gratitude…

We hope that we make it very clear to all of you how grateful we are for your continued support and assistance throughout the school year.  It is only with the help of a dedicated staff, friends and family members who volunteer and the tremendous support of St. Boniface Parish that we are able to accomplish all that we do.  Please know that you are never taken for granted and that the ultimate goal is to provide a Catholic education to all who desire one for their children.  Every Friday when we gather for Liturgy, we always pray for “those who are good to us at St. Boniface School”.

               

Good-Bye, Mrs. Lipps!

For the last four years we have been blessed with one of the most wonderfully devoted Title I Reading teachers on the planet!  Mrs. Lipps is cherished by her students and co-workers alike.  She is retiring to spend more time with her own family.  She will be greatly missed, but we hope that she will visit us often!

Good Luck, Mrs.Lipps!  Enjoy your Retirement!

 

DON’T FORGET… it’s very important to keep up those Math and Reading skills over the Summer Break.  Visit the Library.  Practice Math facts with computer games or flashcards.  Quiz games are great to pass the time in the car while travelling!  Keep practicing TaeKwonDo.  Exercise your bodies and your brains!  By the way, don’t forget those “Summer Bridge Books” three days per week.

 

Check it outvisit Cincinnati.Com and select “Hamilton County” and “Northside”.

Then visit the community photo galleries.  We will be trying to post photos from some of our end of the year school activities and events.

 

Have a safe and happy summer!

Remember: School starts on August 19th

See you then!
