St. Cecilia Spotlight - Jan 29
MORNING ARRIVAL
We have some safety concerns that need to be addressed. In the morning for arrival, parents are to enter the gravel driveway located next to the white house and the church on Madison Pike. Drop off will begin once your vehicle safely is next to the designated yellow cones. In order to unload in a timely manner, we ask that you do not wait to drop your student off until you reach the front door. Everyone must unload by the yellow cones. Also, for the safety of our students and staff, no one should be parking in the center of the lot to walk their child across the line of traffic. All students need to be dropped off in the drop off line exiting on the right side of the vehicle closest to the yellow cones. If you must assist your child with carrying an item into school, we ask that you please enter the drop off line and wait until you can safely pull into one of the 2 designated spots at the entrance of the school. No cars should be entering directly from the top lot. Thank you for your attention to this safety matter.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Our physical education program has been bustling with a variety of engaging activities! Our kindergarteners were recently introduced to the parachute, which quickly became a favorite among the little ones. They enjoyed a series of fun games that not only brought laughter but also fostered teamwork and cooperation.
Meanwhile, students in 1st through 3rd grade dove into a comprehensive basketball unit, focusing on essential skills and drills. Their impressive basketball handling skills shone through, and many students had the opportunity to explore new techniques and strategies on the court.
For our 4th through 8th graders, we dedicated time to mastering volleyball. The students worked diligently on serving the ball over the net, as well as perfecting their bump, set, and pass techniques. The emphasis on teamwork truly enhanced their experience, and the progress they made was remarkable.
Overall, it has been an exciting period filled with growth, collaboration, and a lot of fun!
CAFETERIA HELP NEEDED!!!
We really need help in our cafeteria on a daily basis. Great way to earn Parent Partnership hours. Kitchen Help will assist the cafeteria with serving food. Cafe Monitor will assist students with opening items and cleaning tables.
You must be VIRTUS compliant. Parent hours need to be logged in to Sycamore for approval!
