End of Summer School

The end is here! This summer went by fast, but it was a lot of fun. We had our Carnival day on Friday. Stations included: a story teller, the Book Fair, tye-dying t-shirts, arts and crafts, along with games. We had our talent show on Monday where we reenacted the battle on the pirate ship from Peter Pan. This summer was fun, but the work starts in September!

Strong Museum

Yesterday was our trip to the Strong Museum of Play! the students enjoyed the evolution of dance exhibit where they got to try out their different dance moves. They also enjoyed the history of video games where we were able to play several classic arcade games. After the museum we went to McDonald's for lunch. We even stopped for dessert at Bruester's Ice Cream Shop!

Generosity Store

The Generosity Store had its grand opening on Wednesday! The store sells woodworking products made by the adult staff at School of the Holy Childhood as well as pies from the bakery. The store will also be one of our community work sites starting in the fall. A few of the students from our class were invited to attend the ribbon cutting and some were asked to volunteer.

The store is located at the corner of Park Avenue and Goodman Street in the city of Rochester. They will have a booth at the Park Avenue Arts Festival this weekend so please stop by the booth and/or the store to see what it is all about!

Here are some pictures taken at the ceremony.

We Won Again!

On Friday July 29th, 2011 School of the Holy Childhood had its annual summer scavenger hunt "The Great Race." I am proud to let everyone know that this year Mr. Pincelli's class came in first place! Mr. Singer's class came in second, and Mrs. Boyle's class came in third. With this victory, Mr. Pincelli's class has now won two consecutive 1st place trophies: the candy sale being the first.

The odds seemed to be stacked against us, but the students worked together and were able to all make it to every station and participate in the group effort. Here is a picture of our two trophies in our room. The one on the left is from the candy sale and the one on the right is from the scavenger hunt.
