NEWSLETTER

Dear Parents:

As we pass the half-way point of Lent, we congratulate our students for their

many academic accomplishments.

Not only have these students showed academic excellence, but they have

demonstrated the unique ability to build on their successes year after year.

Please take a moment to acknowledge their achievements in the pages

ahead. Also, our KUDOS KORNER is chock-full of names of students who al-

so get a well-deserved pat on the back for a job well done!

Remember, this week our students are not the only ones getting “graded” .

Please make sure you fill out our annual Parent/Teacher survey on RenWeb.

God bless, Sister Dorothy Sayers, M.P.F.

Project CREATE (Creative Responses from Elementary Age ThinkErs) is a 25 year old program. It is an EXPO that serves as a venue for students to have the op-portunity to use their problem-solving skills, and creativity to come up with solu-tions to real-life engineering challenges similar to those engineers encounter on a daily basis. At the beginning of the year, Project CREATE organizers come up with THREE challenges they want the participants to work on. The students, in groups, chose a challenge and work on it most of the year.

These HF students participated in the EX-PO on Friday, March 4th:
