The Bard's Birthday

Anyone visiting the 8th grade classroom today might have thought they had been transported back to the 16th century. Today was the day to celebrate Shakespeare and all things Shakespearean. Some students from the 7th and 8th grade language arts classes performed dramatic readings (such as the famous witches' scene from MacBeth, shown here). Others chose to recite, sing and even dance to themed music. The finale to the birthday celebration was tasting many of the student prepared desserts which all were based Shakespeare's favorites - apples!

Appreciate the Art

What parent doesn't love to proudly display their child's artwork? At tonight's Art Fair, the school helped parents do just that! While beautiful artwork from the whole year was put on display this evening, one selection from each student's work was matted and framed and available for parents to purchase. Framing a painting or drawing turns a beautiful creation into a masterpiece!

Aladdin, Jr.

It really is incredible what a group of dedicated students from a small elementary school can do! Given the right instruction, they can create a fabulous musical, and they did! If you missed it, you can purchase a DVD video of the show from the school office.

Earth appreciation continues

Third grade students wanted to make an impact this week so they decided to hold a "trash pick-up". The children took advantage of today's nice weather, donned gloves and walked around the local area picking up litter. After they were finished, they were given a well-deserved ice cream treat.

Earth Day

Students celebrated creation in many ways today! We started the day with a mass in honor of Earth Day. The fifth grade did a great job with the liturgy. The first grade students decorated canvas bags that they will begin using in place of plastic bags. Finally, our fourth graders met up with their pre-school prayer partners and planted annuals together.

Dads and Daughters, what a beautiful evening

Simply spectacular! That is the best way to describe the interaction between dads and their best young ladies at the Father-Daughter Dance on Saturday night. Keep your eye on the website for more photos to be coming soon!

Open House being held Sunday, April 20th

These students invite you to visit them at Our Lady Star of the Sea Regional School’s Spring Open House on Sunday, April 20th at 12:30 pm. Encourage friends and family with school-aged children to stop by and learn about the terrific things happening at OLSOS Regional School!

Veterans Visit Eighth Grade Students

What is a great way to bring a first-hand experience into the classroom: just finishing a unit in Social Studies class about World War II, Mr. Beck invited two local veterans to his classroom to share their experiences. Today, an important message about who real heroes really are was brought to the students through these gentlemen.

Sharing the Seder

Before dismissal for Easter break, all of the students in the school gathered together for a Seder prayer service. The students tasted the different food items during the service and learned the significance of each item. As part of their religion curriculum, the 6th grade students created Seder plates that were used during the ceremony.

Stations of the Cross

On Tuesday, March 18th, the eighth grade class re-enacted the Living Stations of the Cross. The students walked us through Christ's journey with reverence and prayer.
