Preschool at St. Mark has a tradition of exchanging books with their friends. Yesterday, the students were so excited to give a gift to their friends and see what book they got and who gave it to them! Promoting the joy of literacy is a huge part of our passion in preschool.
Preschool had their Christmas party yesterday! Pajamas, painting snowflakes, cookie decorating, a snow sensory bin, snowball toss, an epic dance party, snacks and watching The Star made for a fabulous day!
Our fourth graders worked hard on writing blessings and stuffing bags full of goodies to give to families spending Christmas with their babies in the NICU. Our hearts are FULL. Thank you to everyone who donated to our service project!

Preschool is in the Christmas spirit today, building 3D structures with gum drops, searching for jingle bells in shaving cream, roll, count and draw candy canes and a washi tape Christmas stocking art invitation. Plus, I'm sure I heard some Christmas singing in there!
7th grade had an awesome time at the Jump Simulation Center! Students got to see cells from their cheek under a microscope, learned about MRIs, made a cast mold of their finger, made paint and ice cream, and took a tour of the facility. It was a fun filled day!
Kindergarten had a blast this week making applesauce! The students cut up the apples, adding them to a crockpot with lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon to make a tasty treat! Cooking at school is always a great time.
