I just found out that my Wednesday post did not go through. It should be posted now.
I had a very long last 6 days. After a two day workshop in Cleveland, I flew to CA for another 3 days of workshops on a different topic. The CA one was mostly about marketing the school. I learned some excellent ways and some very expensive ways to market St. Mark's. You may notice some difference in the next few weeks and months.
It was great to be back on Wednesday among the precious children and staff. I missed them. They make me smile so big. I liked that few were out with any sickness. I am sure you parents like that also.
Tomorrow is pizza day. Tonight's Science Olympiad went well. We now have 13 members on the team. The one group with goggles and all kinds of science equipment looked like they were enjoying it. They learned how to paper chromatography tonight. It is easier than it sounds. One group made plans to build a bridge. Another one was making plans to build a device that will put a ball into a bucket from 3-10 m away. Good luck aiming that one.
Have a blessed day.

The Innisbrook orders have not arrived yet. I'm expecting them any time. Of course, I also know that they may be delayed.
Take a look at the wonderful job one of our members did with the landscaping in front of the church. It is such an improvement. Thanks, Rick Smith.
Eleven students showed up for Science Olympiad last night. They and I were excited to get started. This is a competitive science club with other clubs in our area. Preparation is the key.
On Tuesday, Casey Dutro and Sam Buffenbarger were the greatest rocket launchers. There rockets traveled over 100 ft. We used the stomp rockets.
Have a blessed weekend. I will see you on Wednesday.

In reading the 2nd graders will continue reading their story about an immigrant family as well as working on comparing the 1800s to today and making a time line of the book. The 3rd graders will begin a chapter on multiplication this week and will also explore arrays and multiplication facts. In reading the 3rd graders continue reading different trickster tales and folktales and will do some character analysis.
Mr. Postenrieder
In 4th and 5th grade Bible time this week we will look at the life of Moses. In our science time together we continue our study of adaptations and how they help organisms survive. In language arts we will read about Tecumseh and the places he lived, fought, and, died. In 4th math we will work with decimals. In 5th math we finish working with division and begin fractions. In social studies the 4th grades will travel the road to statehood for Ohio. The 5th graders will be studying the early European exploration of North America. Both classes will participate in the hunt for “Brown Gold” to see how gold brought many to North America.
Mr. Hoffmann
This week the sixth and seventh grade will be assessed on how well they know the human aspect of geography, look at interactions among all living things in Science; read two stories about Pompeii and travel through the ruins in an interactive map via the internet; write the final draft of their news-worthy story; do a self evaluation and meditation about themselves in preparation of creating an artistic expression of their personality traits; and discuss the expectations and privileges of prayer.
Mr. Reisenbichler Grade 6 math students are multiplying decimals and finding square roots. Grade 7 math students are working with ratios and proportions and finding the area of a triangle. The students are also playing the Stock Market Game. Currently one of our three teams is ranked 22nd out of 228 teams in the state of Ohio. This includes high schools and middle schools.
