Christmas already?
Student of the Month
Please join us in congratulating 8th grader Gio Mendoza de la Cruz, our Student of the Month for November!
Gio has a kind and friendly personality and was chosen for his ability to create strong relationships with both his classmates and his teachers. He is respectful and he has a good positive attitude.
Gio exhibits responsibility both inside and outside the classroom, balancing his schoolwork with his other activities. He has played basketball on the Jayhawks team and participates as a bass in the junior high choir. A talented musician, Gio plays both guitar and piano. He is continually growing his skills by taking lessons and has performed in piano recitals at Union College.
Gio volunteers much of his spare time at Cristo Rey Church. He has assisted with many parish activities, including the Kermes Festival at Haymarket Park, church cleaning, and cooking and selling food at various events.
Gio always goes above and beyond in everything he does, taking on any task with enthusiasm and leading others by example. He gives his very best and can always be seen with a smile. He is well deserving, and we are proud to have chosen him for our Student of the Month.

Little Flowers
Little Flowers is an extra-curricular spiritual group for girls in 1st - 5th grades. Groups meet monthly by grade to do crafts and activities. Girls work on virtues, learn about the Saints and Scripture. Three parties are held with the entire Little Flowers program (all girls in 1st - 5th.) A first grade group is forming at St. Teresa's. An informational meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 18th at 7:00 at Jean Timmerman's home at 637 S 40th Street. No commitment will be asked; we are just sharing information. If there is enough interest Jean will help the group get started. If you cannot attend but are interested, please contact Jean Timmerman. An RSVP is helpful but not required: jean-timmerman@cdolinc.net.

Watch Policy at School
This fits under the category of phones in the school handbook. I am bolding the section that needs great attention at this time:
Cell Phones: (I-PHONES, SMART PHONES, SMART WATCHES, APPLE WATCHES, FITBITS, ETC.)
Because of the multiple possible misuses of cell phones (text messaging to communicate during class or to cheat during a test, taking inappropriate pictures and/or videos, etc…), we discourage students from bringing them to school. If students must have a cell phone with them, it must be powered off and in the backpack. The younger grades are to give them to their teacher at the beginning of the school day. Phones/devices must remain powered off while on school/church property until 3:25 pm. Phones/devices are not permitted on field trips. Students are permitted to wear analog or simple digital watches. Fitbits, Apple watches, SMART watches or those having the appearance of these devices are prohibited.
