Honoring Mary, the Gentle Woman

Talk about a mass that really touched hearts, Friday's Mass in Honor of Mary certainly did that. Kindergarten students led the liturgy and sang an inspiring song. Play the video, you'll be sure to smile.

Bubbles and Towels

Looking for a creative way to raise funds for their class trip to Great Adventure, the 8th grade class decided to hold a car wash. It was a nice sunny day, and plenty of cars lined up to get that pollen and dirt washed off.

Bubbles for Autism

Our 6th and 8th grade students participated in project the help increase Autism Awareness. Participating schools and organizations stopped what they were doing at 10 am and blew bubbles for 5 minutes.

Way to go! This fourth grade student's artwork was selected as a winner in Cape May County's Poster Contest. Her artwork will grace a page in the calendar published by the county.

It's All About the Bard

The 7th and 8th grade students outdid themselves at this year's celebration of Shakespeare's Birthday. 7th grade students decorated a t-shirt with their favorite Shakespeare quote and 8th grade students presented dramatic readings. Congratulations to the two "survivors" of the Circus Maximus!

Thanks for Haiti

Our PreSchool students received an "official" thank you from the Social Justice Committee at Our Lady of the Angels. The children collected food and supplies to be sent to those affected by the recent devasting earthquakes. Great job PreK!

Tea Anyone?

After completing a series presented by MidAtlantic Center for the Arts on victorian manners, our PreK through 2nd grades were rewarded with an opportunity to show off their new skills. Dressed in Sunday best, the children enjoyed a tea party in the gazebo park.

Favorite Charity Essay Contest

Congratulations to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners of a recent contest sponsored by the Kiwanis club. The children wrote from their hearts when decribing their favorite charities. The Kiwanis will make donations to the winners' charities: Tuberosis Sclerosis Alliance, Relief for Haiti and American Cancer Society. Well done, children!

What Fun to be a Kindergarten Teacher!

One would think this party was planned for the children! They were thrilled to surprise their teacher with a party hat, noise makers and a cake with real candles!

No Matter How You Say It, "Merry Christmas!"

Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel, and Buon Natale! It was Christmas Around the World today in 3rd and 4th grades. Each student selected a country to research and learned its Christmas customs.

Tis the Season

Christmastime at Star of the Sea School means the sounds of joyful music and remembering the reason for the season. View the video to hear our students' wish.

Visiting the Secret Santa shop is so much fun! It's even better when "big sister" and "big brother" prayer partners are there to help the little ones shop and wrap their gifts!

Future Leaders

Officers from our Student Council joined with leaders from 7 area Catholic schools in Mays Landing for a day-long Leadership Retreat. Our students can't wait to use the new skills they learned today!

Service to Seniors

Organized by Mr. Beck, more than 20 students gathered on Saturday to help elderly and homebound seniors clean their yards. Students arrived with rakes and tarps and raked until their arms ached. The wonderful feeling of knowing you helped someone less fortunate made it all worth it.

Thanksgiving Service

Our Thanksgiving play and prayer service was heartwarming! View the video posted below to hear our third and fourth grade students singing Give Thanks.

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

The primary grades had so much fun with hands-on lessons today. They have been learning about pilgrims, American Indians, and the first Thanksgiving. Children learned to make their own bread just like they did in the 1600's. What do you need to go with bread? Butter, of course. Just shake, shake, shake to get a jar of the creamy spread!

Veterans Day

Our youngest children spent the morning singing songs such as God Bless America, America the Beautiful and Yankee Doodle Dandy. Click on the video to hear their special wish.

Third Grade's Turn to Decorate Pumpkins

Each year, the Kiwanis Club sponsors a pumpkin decorating contest for grades K-3. The club members bring the pumpkins and the children bring their own decorations. We are grateful for the Kiwanis Club's involvement in our school.

The Books Come to Us

Kindergarten and 1st grade students visited the bookmobile today. It's so much fun to have your very own library card! They are so responsible - turning in their books and picking out new ones.

Pumpkin Painting Time

What's round and orange painted many different colors? A first grade student's pumpkin, of course!
