Middle Division Message for the Week of March 8, 2010
Honors Breakfast is March 12, 2010, in the Gym, at 7:15 AM. Congratulations to those students earning Honors and High Honors, and to those students who improved their grades even though they might not have earned the designation. The flag assembly will be held at 8:15. Come see how many countries our students represent. We will also honor our two regional spelling be participants. Please see below.
Teddy Root (G6) and Thomas Shera (G5) competed in the Scripps Regional Spelling Bee this week. It is the first time that St. Richard's has sent two delegates to the Regional Bee, and they both did so well! Teddy finished 9th and Thomas finished 5th (so both in the top ten in the region!). They exhausted all of the words on the Scripps spelling list, so the judges gave them bizarre words they had not studied, and they still excelled. Way to go, boys!
From Mrs. Fisher's E Friday Folder:
The 5&6 grade girls basketball team lost a heartbreaker to Kingsway Christian last night in the tournament championship, 19 to 17. At the last second, Kingsway Christian shot a ball that bounced three times against the backboard and through the net to win the game. Our Lady Dragons finished the season 20-2 and second place in tournament play. We're proud of you, Lady Dragons!
This past week, 5th and 6th grade students completed significant efforts in the Science Fair. Placing for 5th grade were 1st Natalia Rombel, 2nd Sam Creveling, 3rd Tyler Wott, and Honorable Mention (alphabetically) were Lila Ammeen, Thomas Bamforth, Olivia Burke, Jacqueline Knoblesdorf, Harrison Maginn, Justin Matei, and Meghann Roessler. Special thanks to Dave Bender, Beth Ann Thomas, Wanita Kumar, Kara Bungard, Bernard Fletcher, and Tatiana Faroud for judging the fifth grade competition.
Placing for 6th grade were 1st Sam Kaefer, 2nd Katherine Watkins, 3rd Sarah Klotz, and Honorable Mention were Patrick Burgett and Branden Moore. Special thanks to judges Emily Blue, Fred Chadwell, and Lou Coury. These students will progress to the District Science Fair. Good Luck!
French students have returned as has Loic Andre. Welcome Back, Mr. Andre!
Good Luck to the 51 Latin students who go to Bloomington Friday afternoon. They will be participating in about three-dozen competitions. We can hardly wait to hear about their results as they do as well as almost all of the high school students.
Enjoy the spring-like weather!
