Camp out fun!
Next week, we start the annual Food Drive at St. Mark's! While you are out at the grocery store this weekend, grab an item or two to help our local community and all those who could use a little extra support this year.
It was a great day to be a Marksmen in Preschool! The students had a camp out, complete with a tent and campfire, a boat, pond and fishing poles, lots of wild creatures and s'mores! They painted pet rocks and listened to the sounds of the forest at night.
Parents, we would love for you to join us tonight for our PSA meeting. Every parent/guardian is automatically a member of the PSA and we want to hear from you! We have so many exciting things coming up and want to share info with you. Call a friend and make a plan to come!
Our St. Mark Spirit Wear store is live and open for business! Make sure to check it out and get your orders in before it closes on November 20th! They make great Christmas gifts and would be an easy thing to slip under the tree.

We had the staff from School Sight and Sound come in today and do a vision and hearing screening on our students. The students always have a fun time playing the diagnostic games and love wearing the silly glasses!
Our preschool students created cards for Veterans as a small way of recognizing the service that they gave to our country. We look forward to honoring our nation’s veterans on Friday as well.
We are learning about the vocation of the priesthood today and we are thankful that Monsignor Brownsey heard and followed God's call and plan for his life.
Today, our students will learn about the vocation of marriage as one way we can listen to and respond to God's call. #nationalvocationawarenessweek
Our kindergarten students had a fun experience sharing their writing with preschool. Kindergarten students authored and illustrated their books and then had the chance to read them to their buddies in preschool.
This week, we are spending time focusing on God's call or vocation in each of our lives. #nationalvocationawarenessweek
Sister Pieta, from the JUMP Simulation Center, came to teach the 6th grade students about electrical and computer engineering. She also taught our 7th grade students about chemical engineering using hands on techniques. Thank you for sharing your expertise, Sister Pieta!

Our primary students enjoying the Peoria Riverfront Museum science exhibits.
Our kindergarten, first and second grade students had a great time at the Peoria Riverfront Museum! It's such a wonderful opportunity to have hands on learning experiences. We are fortunate to have this resource in our community! Thanks for having us #PeoriaRiverfrontMuseum.
Thanks to the generous donations of these students, our school will be sending $350 to the Diocese of Venice to help aid in their recovery and rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Ian.
Don't forget to dress in fun, tropical clothes and raise funds for the Diocese of Venice as they work to rebuild after Hurricane Ian.
Kindergarten smiles on a beautiful fall day!
Sensory spelling in third grade today was a blast! Whether it's spelling words in shaving cream, with chalk on a chalkboard, making words out of play doh or spelling the words in sand, hearing the students read and spell aloud with friends is always fun!
