Our sixth graders had a blast today at PND for Scholastic Bowl Trivia and more! Thanks to SMS Alum, Ellen Dahlquist, for showing us the ropes! Thanks to PND for inviting us!
Join us for Trivia Night! The doors open at 6pm and trivia begins promptly at 7pm. You and your team (up to eight players) are welcome to bring dinner to enjoy together at your table prior to the start of trivia. There will be a number of games and activities to play throughout the evening between the rounds of trivia. So, please remember to bring some extra cash if you like to have fun! Payment for the table reservation and bottle fee can be made at the school's front office until January 26th or can be paid at the door that night. If you plan on paying with a check, please make it payable to Saint Mark's PSA.

Beautiful Christmas art from our students!
Merry Christmas from all of us at St. Mark School. May the peace of Christ be with you as we celebrate His birth.
The Preschool Concert was last night and was full of smiles, songs, and laughs as we enjoyed the wonder of little voices!
The third grade and sixth grade students put on their Jesse Tree presentation yesterday. They adorned a Jesse tree with illustrated ornaments that represent the people, prophesies, and events leading up to the birth of Jesus. This connects the Old Testament to Jesus' birth.
We love hanging out with our buddies, especially when we get to spend time on a special project, like the 1st and 4th grade classes did yesterday!
St. Mark’s students competed in the Moline First Lego League regional on Saturday. St. Mark’s sent two Lego League teams - Gold and Blue.
The Gold Team won the Breakthrough Award. This award goes to the team that demonstrates a shining example of excellent Core Values. They show that they truly understand that what they discover is more important than what they win.
The Blue Team won the Robot Design Award which goes to a team that uses outstanding programming principles and solid engineering practices to develop a robot that is mechanically sound, durable, efficient and highly capable of performing challenge missions.
The Blue Team will advance to the Sectional Tournament next month.
Congratulations to all 20 of our SMS Lego team members on an excellent performance at regionals!!
Wednesday was a really rad day! 3rd and 4th grade celebrated the 80th day of school with lots of fun activities and some totally tubular throwbacks, from Runts to leg warmers and music through the decade too!
Grant peace, justice and prosperity to our peoples; for we entrust to your care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother. We wish to be entirely yours and to walk with you along the way of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ in His Church; hold us always with your loving hand.
5th grade wrote and performed skits about the water cycle using props they made themselves or brought from home.
Thank you to all the volunteers and participants for coming out for our Santa Breakfast! What a wonderful time to share in the holiday cheer!
The Santa Breakfast is happening but there's still time! Santa is hanging around until 1:00, and you can get breakfast and cookies and fun until 2:00!
Father, this second week of Advent, keep us in perfect peace as our mind stays on the truth of your powerful love. Thank you for your mighty, sovereign hand. Help us to trust fully in you and rest in the peace that you offer.
All are welcome to join us in a Living Rosary on Tuesday, December 12th, as we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
