What a fun Valentine’s Day in Mrs. Madden’s first grade! We made our own Valentine’s bags to hold our goodies, passed out Valentine’s to our friends, graphed conversation hearts, measured our friends with paper hearts, built structures with toothpicks and gum drops. We also read “The Day it Rained Hearts” and reenacted it with sight words to read on the hearts! And of course we had a party after lunch with crafts, games and cupcakes!!!!
As a part of Valentine's day, Mrs. Estes' class went on an African Safari and learned about the sizes of the elephant shrew, hyena, and elephant's heart. We went around and found objects in the classroom that were similar in size to each of the animals' hearts.

The 100th day of school is a special day in the school year and celebrated in many classrooms! Here is Mrs. Weissman's 2nd grade participating in activities to highlight the special occasion!
Some of our 8th grade students experienced a day in the life of a John Bapst student today. They heard from all of their academic departments, learned about life after the school day, and saw the facilities. 8th graders will continue to learn about the opportunities available to them for high schools as high school transition time continues.

Our January students of the month were celebrated with an assembly full of fun! Our cheerleaders were also celebrated and got to share their shiny gold trophy! We presented our first staff or the month awards to Ms. Romero, Mrs. Reinzo, Ms. Mosley, and Mr. Cushman! We had a lot to be proud of this month! Keep up the great work Wildcats!
Students were very excited to see the staff that "won" the pie a teacher raffle to support the Warren Kidder Scholarship! At our last assembly they watched as Mrs. Young, Mrs. Mailman, and Ms. Romero were pied by 4 lucky students! It was a lot of fun and raised money for a deserving student in memory of a very special teacher.
