Energy Efficient Driving Workshop
Congratulations to the students who led the Energy Efficient Driving Workshop on Tues.  We had an audience of 15 staff members.  They were very impressed with the great presentations.

Hall of Fame
Congratulations to Lindsey for being the first student in our class to achieve a GOLD certificate in Matheletics.  Way to go!!!  Please encourage your kids to do the same.   We also ask that you to pray that Lindsay does well at the K of C Free Throw Regional Championship on Saturday.  We know she will represent our school well. 

Math App
One of our parents from the class asked me to share an app called Math Fact Master with the families of our class.  They have found it to be very helpful. You can find it in the Apple and Android store.
