The Fourthies had a special opportunity on Thursday to meet the Reverend Sigmund Collins, who runs Shepherd's Way Relief Center. The Fourthies from St. Christopher's joined the girls in the LSAR to learn more about out upcoming community service project. We will be going as a class to Sheperd's Way on the morning of January 23rd. Thank you to the many of you who have volunteered to send in food. 

There are still many opportunities to sign up for helping create breakfast for the many poor and homeless people in the community. Please click on Information to see how you can help.

Mary Poppins Returns!

What fun we had... It was a great movie!

We will be working with a tangible number line this coming week  

finding smaller, larger, and equivalent fractions. The girls are 

increasing their knowledge

 of mixed and improper fractions.
