St. Louis Art Show

Come to the St. Louis K-8 Art Show this month at the Louisville Library! Artwork from every student will be on display with a special reception on Thursday, Feb. 16 from 3-6PM with refreshments. The teachers, art volunteers, and students have done a fabulous job - don't miss it!

Epiphany Cakes

Each year at St. Louis to celebrate the Epiphany of our Lord, our priest Father Timothy Gaines helps the Kindergarteners bake Epiphany cakes. Each Kindergartener makes a cake to be delivered to a classroom. They start by cleaning the coin that will go into each cake. They use toothpaste to clean the coins – Kindergarteners think that’s funny! They each have a cake pan and add ingredients together with a little help from Father and their teacher, Ms. Kristen Oliver. After the cakes have been baked, the students frost and decorate them with sprinkles and candy treats. Then, three at a time, deliver their cakes to each classroom dressed as kings.

Advent Program

Last night was the K-3 Advent Program. The theme was the Jessie Tree and the students sang beautifully. They acted out all the different ornaments that hang on a Jessie Tree and even played instruments. It was a great show!

Breakfast with St. Nick!

For the Feast Day of St. Nicholas, student leadership elves pose with St. Nick and are ready to serve. Students in preschool through gr. 3 had breakfast and their picture with the jolly old fellow.

5th Graders Birthday/Gift Giving Party

5th graders, Libby and Gabe had a most unusual birthday party last week. They and all the 5th graders took a hay ride from the school down to the Louisville ice skating rink. All of their "presents" were donations for the annual school auction. What a great way to pay it forward!

Third grader, Danielle got a huge surprise when she won a gum ball machine almost as big as herself! Danielle's name was chosen as the Grand Prize Winner from those students who qualified in our fall fundraiser. Way to go!
