One more day of school. What do you planned over the summer? Don't forget to support and improve your child's academics. Many a shopping trip can be a review of math. Social studies can be found on good TV stations and while driving to your next where ever. The newspaper is an excellent source of money (stock market), current events, and reading. Have you child read an article, tell you what it is about, and give an opinion on that subject.
Congratulations to Ian Mendez (2nd) for making the 800 Point Club, Ashley Verbarg (2nd) for making the 300 Point Club, and Rebecca Isble (3rd) for making the 100 Point Club on the AR Wall of Fame.
Have a blessed day!

Life can be shorter than we would like it at times for some people. God took Mrs. Geis to Himself yesterday. Jack, her son, was in our Pre-4 PM class. Most of her children have attended St. Mark's over the years. I rejoice that she had a faith that enabled her to go to heaven. It is by God's grace that we also have that hope of eternal life with Him. Visitation is Wednesday night 6-8 PM at Evans Funeral Home on Center St.
St. Veronica School on Mt. Carmel-Tabasco Rd. is having a spaghetti dinner this Sunday night for the Habitat for Humanity house sponsored by Thrivent and the Lutheran community. It is from 5-7 PM. The maximum family cost is $20 which includes salad, spaghetti, breadsticks, and drink. See you there.
The last day is fast approaching - just ask any student.

Congratulations to Ryan Schattauer (4th) for making the 400 Point Club and to Michael Vrbanac (1st) for making the 100 Point Club on the AR Wall of Fame.
A special surprise happened last Friday when 2 new kindergarten students and one 1st grader enrolled for next year. It is always good news to know that more people want to be connected to Jesus through St. Mark's.
I want through the Talent Show forms and found 35 of them. There will be such a variety of talents on Thursday. That is great news.

Friday
This is the last Friday of the school year. I can tell. Even the staff know it and act like it. It is a bittersweet day of some. They will miss the pizza as one of them told me. They won't miss the homework as another one stated to me.
The 4th grade projects in the hallway look really cool. The students in grades 3-6 are in music class right now. I hear them through the wall. Their singing is great. I am so glad that they have a great attitude toward singing. It is a fine art that has life-long use. We will miss Miss Barz's music directions.
Three of the staff members are off to Cleveland at 3 PM for a Family Friendly Partners Network workshop for the church. It will make for a long day, but it is worth it.
Have a blessed weekend.

The results were received yesterday. For some reason a parent’s report was not received. If it doesn’t come soon, I will make one for each parent. The students continue to amaze me by how well they perform on these tests. The overall percentile for all grades on the school normed test was 97%.

Classroom News
Mrs. Barz
Kindergarten continues to travel around the world, visiting China this week. We have enjoyed learning about the differences and similarities in many cultures. We also finished our final letter in handwriting this week. In Jesus time, we learned of Lydia who shared God’s Good News with all she met. We have been singing lots of Bible verses in class this week.
Mrs. Reisenbichler
God always provides is the theme of this week's lessons in Jesus Time. Sometimes we think we have it tough, but survival in the desert is truly tough as we learned this week about insects, reptiles, mammals, and birds that survive in the desert. The children are become experts on desert life and seeing the beauty of God's creation in desert lands.
Mrs. Mayo
The year is beginning to wind down and we'll be finishing up some things and reviewing others. In religion, grades 3 & 4 will be reviewing all the Bible verses they have learned this year. They'll also be doing some fun bible verse worksheets that are in various kinds of codes. In Science they will be looking at the various parts of flowers as well as talking about the life cycles of plants. In 3rd grade, they will be finishing their last unit in math and then will review their skills by playing math games. In Social Studies we continue to talk about being good citizens as well as talking about our community government. In Language Arts we will be reading stories about spiders and insects in our anthologies. We'll also work on writing directions.
Mr. Hoffmann
This week in fifth and sixth grade Language Arts, the students have finished reading their book Summer of the Monkeys. They are working in groups to write discussion questions, chapter summaries and vocabulary. They are also working on their last writing project, an essay with a particular point of view about the book.
In Science, the students are learning about renewable and nonrenewable resources of energy.
In art, the 3rd through 6th grades students are finishing up their year-end portfolios that include photos of their work, artist’s summaries, and bios on artists.we’ve studied.
Mr. Postenrieder
In the 5th and 6th grade Bible time, we perform our chapel play 3 in a Fiery Furnace. We will also spend time with science and the Bible using science to help us see God’s presence in our world today. In 5th and 6th grade social studies, we will look at the economy and the terrorist attacks of 2001. In 4th grade math we will work with rates. In 4th grade social studies, we will study the structure of Ohio’s government and create our own Ohio book. In 4th grade language arts, we turn back the clock to the hits of the 70’s; we will be learning about nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, pronouns, interjections, and subject-verb agreement with School House Rock.

How did you spend your Memorial Day? I did visit the cemetery with my mother to see Dad's grave. It was good for both of us.
Congratulations to Sarah Schave (4th) and Rachel Schave (6th) for making the 200 Point Club and Haley Groen (6th) for making the 700 Point Club on the AR Wall of Fame.
The school sure is quiet without the preschool classes. Right now the 5-6th graders finished practicing for their chapel presentation tomorrow. The 2nd graders are playing a spelling game. The kindergarten class just started dodge ball during their P.E. time. Grades 5-6 went to Spanish class. Busy, busy, busy.
Have a blessed day.
