St. Nick Gifts

These two students are very busy putting the finishing touches on their St. Nick gift for the residents at the American Grand in Kaukauna. The students want to give St. Nick a little hand so that the people know that they are card about. All the students were very excited to complete the project!

Thanksgiving Food Collection

Thanksgiving is all about being grateful and sharing with others. St. Aloysius Campus students and staff during their Liturgy before Thanksgiving break took up a collection of non perishable food items and personal care products to donate to the Kaukauna Food Pantry in thanksgiving of all that they have been blessed with. St. Francis of Assisi said "For it is in giving that we receive".

We are Thankful

These are just some of the students that have written things they are thankful for and added to our bulletin board in the lobby at Holy Cross Campus.

Grade 2 Junior Achievement

Grade 2 participates in a program called Junior Achievement. People from the community come in and teach the students through activities how a community works. How each community operates with businesses, government, and consumers and is dependent on each other to prosper and become a thriving place to live and work.

Veteran's Day Ceremony

The students and staff of KCSS gathered on Veteran's Day to honor Veteran's and their service to our country. We were blessed to have several Veterans in attendance on this special day. In addition to honoring our guests, we rededicated the WWII plaque that was restored by the KCSS Athletic Association (on the wall in the background on the picture). Thank you to the Athletic Association and to all of our Veterans!

Third Grade Loves to Read

The third grade students have been doing a great deal of reading lately. They have really enjoyed all the different stories they have read. The last book they read was about the Titanic and learning about the supposedly "unsinkable" ship. As a fun activity the students thought about the Green Bay Packers and all the injuries they have had. So, they thought it would be fun to design new book jackets for books some of the players might enjoy reading!

The Building for Kids

Grades K-1-2 visiting the Building for Kids in Appleton to explore their world on their level. They were able to see how it would be to fly an airplane, operate a crane, care for children as a doctor, nurse or in a childcare setting. Students were able to observe how and why it is important for the human body to have some gross functions. The students found this very interesting!

Fun in Physical Education

The second grade had lots of fun in Physical Education class. Their teacher gave them the opportunity to move around and use their throwing, putting, tossing, catching, aiming, and balancing skills with Halloween activities. To put them in the Halloween mood some of the activities included tossing a rubber rat in a basket, putting a plastic eyeball, and bowling with ghost pins. Halloween themed music was played for the students' enjoyment. Teacher children that movement is both beneficial for their health and fun at the same time.

Holy Cross Middle School Halloween Dance

All Saint's Day

Mrs. Kortz's second graders represented just a few saints of the Catholic Church during the Liturgy on All Saint's Day at St. Aloysius Campus. Some of the saints pictured, along with Fr. Jerry, are St. Francis Cabrini, Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Katharine Drexel, St. Joseph, St. Damien, and St. Christopher. Each student read a little biography of their saint during Liturgy. The message given was that we are all called to holiness by accepting God's will with joy and following the example of those who have been canonized as saints. The entire school sang "When the Saints Come Marching In" as the closing song. Student participated by singing and marching along.
