Our school's Science teacher, Mrs. Cathi Garcia, has been honored to be chosen as one of two hundred grade-school teachers from across the United States to participate in the 2012 national Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy, an innovative professional development program designed to enhance math and science teaching skills. This year's national academy will be held at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The participating educators were chosen from more than 1,000 applications. Selection was based on teacher qualifications, dedication to inspiring students an an early age and overall commitment to enhancing the teaching profession. A panel of educators from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the National Science Teachers Association selected participants.
(The science room really needs a new LCD projector for video and internet use within our classroom!!! Anyone who can help (contribute, donate, has a "connection", etc) please contact Mrs. Garcia!)

Annual Christmas Program
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCE WAS A HIT!
Under the direction of our school's Music instructor, Mrs. Maria Alaniz, our annual Christmas Performance was a beautiful production. In addition to the singing, we were also entertained by the sixth grade class playing their recorders and eighth graders playing guitar. It's wonderful to see the benefits of having a specialized music instructor in our school. The students are developing confidence in stage presence and performance skills, while fine tuning their vocals and learning to play instruments. A very special thank you to the many parents who contributed to the performance. Mrs. Walldez, Mrs. Flores, Mrs. DeMaximo, Mrs. Ramos, Mrs. Beggs...your support and time was greatly appreciated. Funds raised from the Sunday breakfast were used to purchase two new cordless mics, set and costume materials.

Santa was in fine form, kids were busily writing letters to Santa, our eighth grade "reindeers" bustled about helping, and overall it was another fine event. To all those parents who helped in the kitched, to our school board, to the vendors, and to the members of St. Louis of France Parish who supported the fundraiser, many thanks!
