The luncheon will begin at 11 a.m. and is catered by Megg's Cafe. Tickets are $20. Space is limited so we urge out parents and friends to reserve a chair as soon as possible. To make your reservation, please see Kathy Barnes in the office or call 774.8622.

Latin Homework for Thanksgiving Break!

I'm certain your family and friends would be thrilled and impressed to hear the Table Blessing in Latin this Thanksgiving. I've included it here just in case you might need a refresher! No one does though, right?

I'm thankful for the brightest students around. I wish you all a super Thanksgiving.

Benedic, Domine, nos
et haec Tua dona
quae de Tua largitate

Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
Amen.

COMPUTER NEWS

Yesterday we started working on new project lesson. From now until we break for Christmas we will be learning the functions and uses of Power Point. We will be creating travel guides while learning this. Programs like this are used in some areas of school and business, it’s great for them to learn and experiment with it now when there isn’t a deadline.
