Followers, we got 9" of snow in Paris, AR!



St. Joseph School will be closed on Thursday and Friday due to weather. Please enjoy the snow with your families and stay safe! See you on Monday! In Christ, Michelle O'Neal

Mrs. Snyder gifted her homeroom class with handmade prayer jars. What a thoughtful gift!


Christmas is extra in Mrs. Johnson's class. They started off with gingerbread houses and then received their homemade gifts from Shelley. The girls received Waldorf dolls and the boys were made knight costumes with sword and shield. Yes, they are sword fighting! The girls were given a Waldorf dollhouse from Mr. Johnson! They were so excited!











Student Council is just like Santa's Workshop right now as their ornament/mug project comes to a close. They are working so hard! Thanks to Ms. Ezell and Ms. Schluterman for helping the students.








We love to hear Bible stories! Today's story is about the birth of our savior Jesus.
Reminder-
Tomorrow is Christmas Sweater Day
We are going a full day of school on Friday the 20th.


What a fun and busy week in Mrs. Snyder's class. Learning games make the day more fun and helps students to retain more information. They ended the week by delivering their cookies that they made from scratch in the school kitchen to a few area businesses and people they wanted to thank. They included handwritten cards to their holiday treat boxes. Developing the whole child!








See you there!


Last ceramic's painting session and the students did a fantastic job. Thanks to Mrs. Elder for helping me out:)





Concentration! We had fun today painting our ceramics. Let's do it again tomorrow. Grades 3-8 or parents can paint with their child.







Kindergarten crafts salt dough ornaments to nurture fine motor strength.




Feast of St. Nicholas was a busy, busy day! Mass, 7th Grade Cultures Presentations (food included), 5-6th Social Studies Olympics, treat bags with golden chocolate coins in our shoes, and kindergarten learned to make salt dough ornaments. Our teachers are fantastic. God is good all the time. Wow!










Happy Feast Day of St. Nicholas of Bari to our St. Joseph School families. Here are three examples of his portrayal through artwork.
Putting our shoes in the hallway tomorrow to receive a treat!




Reminder


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Thanks to these two for rescuing me today from this tree! Looks pretty!


Thanks again to David Raper for restoration of the train and to Leslie for always making sure it is decorated. Shout out to PTO President Trudi Gatewood for organizing students to be riders. Last, thanks to the Paris Chamber of Commerce and all the volunteers for this annual event that means so much to our community! It was wonderful!










Reminder!
Saturday's Vigil Mass- 5:00 pm

Logan County Museum
Thanks for being so kind to our students today!






Mrs. Snyder's Social Studies classes walked down to the Logan County Museum on a crisp Fall day. They were able to see everyday items used during the Civil War time period. We wonder what was typed on that typewriter, and the students were able to try on some clothing too.
