First Fine Arts Night: Quite a lot of Talent On Display

and a Good Time Was Had By All

May 2013

Congratulations Mrs. McCleave!

Your students are being so well prepared as evi-

denced by their growth in the Dial 3 Readiness

Screening (not to mention upper 90 + percentile

rankings). Please spread the word about our

Preschool. We’re full for the 4 y ear old program

for next year, but we still have room in the 3 yr.

old.

Please also spread the news about our Kinder-

garten through 8th grade program. Scholarships

are available if finances are the blocking point.

Fine Arts Night April 22nd at 6:30

San Jose Hall will turn into a museum on

Monday, April 22nd. There will be cham-

ber music (K-2 Violin recitals), sacred mu-

sic (Mid-school choir), and light rock (all-

school ensembles) to accompany admirers

of our school children’s art work. Cheese,

fruit, and desserts will be served. All are

welcome to stop by!

Other Important Dates:

Iowa Basic Tests: April 15-25th

Faith Bowl:4th/5th & Mid-school Apr. 19th

On April 22nd Holy Child Catholic School experienced our first

annual Fine Arts Night. The event was a success and will be rep-

licated in future years. We were able to focus on art and music in

a shorter, more celebratory manner, than if we had incorporated

these skills into a family gathering.

Pictures below and to the right show our violinists, choral group

and the art museum. More pictures are on p. 2-4.

Put on your running sneakers and come out

and support our students as they culminate

their P.E. year with a 5 K run (K-1 START

WITH 2 K RUN ). The course goes up

Primera Agua (a very big hill to start) and

then winds around the neighborhood behind

us. There are great views of the Cibola Na-

tional Forest. Teachers and volunteers will

be there to cheer them on and hand out

water. There will be an ice cream party

to follow. We need help if you’re able.
