1st Grade Reading Buddies

10/2/2023

0 Comments

 
Mrs. Grad's 1st grade did a reading adoption center in their class! These buddies are special in that they don't need food, water, or sleep. They just need lots of books read to them to help them thrive!
The first graders had to fill out an adoption application for their buddies, listing what books they liked to read, and their top choices for a buddy. Then, the buddy who had the same reading interest as them got matched to them and they got to adopt them! The kiddos filled out an "all about my reading buddy" sheet where they came up with their name and age, and signed a promise to read to them every day. The kids get to take them home and keep them to read to. They're so excited about this! ​

2nd Grade Family Trees

Miss Hull's 2nd grade has been busy researching their family history to make their own family trees! These kids put so much effort into their projects, that it's clear they're very proud of their families. They even presented their family trees to the rest of the class to practice their public speaking skills. Great job 2nd grade! ​

2nd Grade- 3 Little Pigs

9/20/2023

0 Comments

 
Miss Hull's 2nd-grade class read The 3 Little Pigs and then followed with The Story of the 3 Little Pigs. After reading the two stories, the class completed a compare and contrast of the stories. Students then got to build their own houses using only 2 pieces of paper and 8 pieces of tape. There was 1 objective: to not get their house blown away by the "big bad wolf" (All of the houses survived the huff and puff of the wolf!) ​

8th Grade Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral

9/20/2023

On September 19th, Catholic middle schools across the diocese gathered for the 8th Grade Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral in downtown Buffalo. This is such a special Mass for all the 8th graders as a kick-off for their last year together.
St. Joseph Cathedral has beautiful architecture and a rich history, adding to its character and charm. We were lucky in that Bishop Mike Fisher added a mini history lesson to his homily yesterday so we learned so much about the design and story behind the cathedral.
Our 8th graders did a wonderful job representing Southtowns Catholic. Justin and Marley even brought the gifts to Bishop Mike at the altar; great job!
Thank you to our chaperons and drivers: Mrs. Leah Battista, Mrs. Kim Overby, Mr. Joe Constantino, and of course, Mrs. Ann Cooper! ​

Grandparents' Day-2023

9/18/2023

0 Comments

 
On Friday, we celebrated Grandparents' Day here at Southtowns Catholic School. This is an event we truly look forward to every year. Students love showing their grandparents or special person around the school to show them their classrooms and what they've been working on and learning the first few weeks of school. We hope all of our grandparents and guests had a lovely visit. We loved having you!
“Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.” Alex Haley
A huge thank you goes out to our HSA board who organized this amazing event. Thank you to all the volunteers who showed up Thursday night to set up and then again Friday morning to display all the yummy food.
We would especially like to thank Amanda and Josh Manassa for handcrafting the doughnut walls. What a special addition these made to the day! ​
