Titan Times www.saseasschool.org December 17, 2014 Volume 9, Issue 14 Be it known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its classes. He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students. Dear Parents, May you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Year! Christmas Prayer Lord, in this holy season of prayer and song and laughter, we praise you for the great wonders you have sent us: for shining star and angel's song, for infant's cry in lowly manger. We praise you for the Word made flesh in a little Child. We behold his glory, and are bathed in its radiance. Be with us as we sing the ironies of Christmas, the incomprehensible comprehended, the poetry made hard fact, the helpless Babe who cracks the world asunder. We kneel before you shepherds, innkeepers, wise men. Help us to rise bigger than we are. Amen.

Academically Excellent 5th graders were busy studying the make-up of color. Mrs. Mascolino and Mrs. Voto combined art and science and taught class together as students studied chromatology and chromagraphy. Students took paper towels and tested two brands of markers (Sharpies and Crayola) using water and nail polish remover to test solubility. As they tested different colors, they were able to break them down to see what colors were combined to create that particular color. 8th grade is reading A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens and discussing its universal message. As a culmination to reading the play in class, students will be attending the performance of A Christmas Carol at Playhouse in the Park. Congratulations to our spelling bee finalists Gabe Ater, Jamie Swanson, Valerie Phillips, Grady Huneck, Hannah Becker, Dana Kern, Luke Westerkamp, Rose Early, Samantha Mrusek, Noah Burkhardt, Nicholas McNeil, Zach Watford, Clara Conover, Taylor Collett, Layne Leggett, Erin Ashley and Vanessa Hickcox. A special congratulation goes to our winner - 7th grader Clara Conover! Passionately Catholic Our 8th grade students are shopping, wrapping and delivering presents this week for families we are sponsoring through our Adopt-a-Family program. This year our students raised enough money to bring a warm Christmas to 9 families in need, here in our own community. St. Andrew Campus will once again be assisting Mary Schutte with her project of providing sleeping bags for the homeless. All 6th, 7th and 8th graders will be part of this service project which entails putting (sewing) the bags together. St. Andrew Campus student counsel sold candy canes to students at lunch time and then delivered them to their friends and teachers, either with a signed note or as a secret Santa. They are raising money to buy new recess equipment.
