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!
Congratulations to Peoria Notre Dame on their State 2A Championship Title!
Nothing better than twinning with the principal!
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!
As a way to celebrate and learn about our rich faith history, 4th grade students researched a saint and presented to their classmates. Listening to them share why they chose a saint, a special relationship they have with a saint and facts about their saint was such a treat.
Our students and parents made a beautiful ofrenda to honor and remember those who have passed before us on Dia de los Muertos. May the memories of our departed loved ones continue to bring us comfort, joy, and guidance.
Preschool students dressed as Saints for All Saints Day and visited Monsignor Brownsey. He told a small story about each saint represented, bringing the saints to life for the children. We are blessed to have Monsignor as our shepherd at St. Mark School!
As we celebrate All Saints Day, we remember those who have gone before us and are in Heaven and we look to them as models in virtue and faith. Their love and devotion to God has earned them a place by His side. May we always strive to guide our students on a path to sainthood.
You know what's spooky? A bunch of kids full of sugar on Halloween! We are lucky we had all treats and no tricks in 1st grade!
Kindergarten had a great time at their Halloween party yesterday!
