Notice of Student Non-Discrimination Policy The Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Denver, under the jurisdiction of Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila, S.T.L. and at the direction of the Superintendent, state that all of their Catholic schools admit students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the schools. Furthermore, Archdiocesan schools admit handicapped students in accord with the policy on Admissions in the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools Administrator’s Manual. These schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, age, handicap, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of their educational policies, employment practices, scholarship and loan programs, or athletic or other school-administered programs.

Physics in Motion! Our 8th graders applied Newton’s Laws of Motion: the Law of Inertia, the formula to use in calculating force is force=mass x acceleration. Opposing forces, such as friction, can be added or subtracted from the total to find the amount of force that was really used in a situation. They also learned about gravity and natural force. They created sleds to test their hypotheses and find out whose design was the fastest.

Roaring 20’s Gala - Early Bird Tickets Available on Friday (2/16) at the Fish Fry for $80.00 per person! Early Bird Rates will be in effect until 3/16. After that the ticket price will go up to $100.00 per person. Tickets are available at the Fish Fry-Days,

The Virtue for the month of March is Temperance

– enjoying things in a proper, balanced way. St. Therese of Avilla St. Camillus Ven. Matt Talbot

It is said that we can learn all that we need to know by studying the lives of the saints. Consider studying these saints to find out more about temperance.

We so appreciated the “snack attack” snacks some very thoughtful parents surprised us with last week. The snacks were AWESOME! You’re the BEST!

The fifth grade field trip to Denver last week was a BIG SUCCESS! Our students, their parent chaperones, and teacher attended the Annual Archdiocese of Denver’s Fifth Grade Liturgy at the Cathedral. Fifth graders from across the archdiocese to celebrate mass with the archbishop. After attending mass, the children enjoyed the Wings of the Rockies Museum where they got to use a flight simulator and learn about aerospace and flight. Who knows, we may have a future astronaut amongst us.

Our kindergarteners are learning about mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and ocean life! Presenting what they know is an excellent way to demonstrate their level mastery of the content. Great work kindergarteners!
