-Norwalk Catholic School -Friday Flyer-

 

May 30, 2008

Dear Parents/Guardians,

 

This week I want to recognize our fifth grade NEWS BOWL team.   Gina Holmes, Hayden Miller, Brandon Bleile, Rachel Kashian and Gabrielle Mink took a computer test as a team and answered 50 current events questions about our world, our nation, sports, politics, geography, famous people and other topics.  The group has to discuss and agree to one answer per question. From that test they were ranked 39th in the nation out of 202 teams. This was our first attempt at this competition.  We look forward to participating again next year.

 

                                                          Yours in Christ, Mrs. French

Community Roof Project: Thanks to everyone who participated in the fundraiser at JimÕs Pizza Box.  We were able to raise $250.

Thanks also for sharing your musical gifts with the parish and school community this past year. You kids are awesome! Try-outs for the teams leading the music for school masses will be held in September. We look forward to another fun-filled season!
