The End of School

by Cooper Gray
It seems to be that the end of the school year is one of the most priceless days of childhood. The day you have fun playing and forgetting all the work you just did. For at the end of the school always comes the parties, like field day; we go to the park and have fun. Always remember this day in your days of firsts. Have a good summer! I know I will. Have fun.

Our School's Got Talent

by Ava McCarthy
Last week we had a musical performance. There was a piano played by Fernando, Winter Lina, Molly and Paul S. Guitar played by Olivia, Nora, Faith and Harmony. Violin was played by Ava, Antoni, Mindoe, Claudia and Rebecca. Cello was played by Cooper, Anabel, and Tai. Last but not least, band played by Alex, Jensen, JJ, Mateuz. Everyone played very nice songs, organized by Mrs. Lyford and MacaiL accompanied them. Everyone sang two songs at the end. With all that talent, who knows what they can do next?

Hershey Track Meet

by Olivia McCarthy
Last week on Thursday, some of the Adam's Team kids went to a Hershey Track meet. There were races, soft-ball throwing, long jumping and a relay race. Our team won lots of events. The winners get to go to state. Olivia, Jensen, MOlly, Anabel, Rebecca, Paul S. Claudia and former student Derek all get to go to state. It was so fun! We can't wait for the next track meet.

Summer Poem

(inspired by Phineas and Ferb)
by Paul J.
There's a hundred and four days of summer vacation, And school comes
along just to end it, And the annual problem of our generation,
Is finding a good way to spend it, Like maybe...
Singing in a musical or going sledding. Or hanging out with your
friends, Discovering something that you didn't know
Or never taking a shower! (P-U!) Building nanobots,
Starting a book club to increase the size of your brain!
Catching tons of fish, Throwing them all back,
And driving your siblings insane! (AHHH!)
As you can see there's a whole lot of stuff to do before school
starts this fall. So stick with us, 'cause St. Laurence kids are going to do
it all.

Kids Fiesta: Big Success

By Paul J.

The Kids Fiesta was amazing! Almost everyone came and they even brought friends from other schools. About 60 people showed up. We played karaoke, we sang and danced, and we celebrated the success of the adult fiesta which made over $40,000 for the school. "We should do this more than once a year," said Mr. Wilhelm. He thought it was fun for everyone and a good way to show off the school.

By Nora Steinke

This week I’m writing about a play called “The Trouble with Togas.” It is a musical that shows on Friday, May 30th at 7 pm and Saturday, May 31st at 4 pm. It’s about six classmates who make a time machine. They travel back in time and meet Greek gods.

Two St. Laurence School students will be in it as well as a former St. Laurence student.
The tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for children. Hopefully I’ll see you there! 

Chapter 4 Part 4

By Cooper Gray

I could only feel the rocks and grass rub against me and the mist brushed on my face like a paint brush. I could see leaves and the sun raining on me. The low voice of Draco rang in my ears. “Get up! Let’s go.” I looked up as my face slumped down and my eyes were blood shot. The camp stood proud and the grunts and moans rumbled the ground. I heard the swift brush sound of an arrow souring to the ground. It slammed to the grass and ripped the dirt. “Let’s go!” Draco yelled. He grabbed me by the collar and ran me down the hill to an oak tree. The hard bark rubbed against me. My feet were splintered and bruised as they lay in the grass under the sun that blazed overhead. My burning eyes made the view blurred. The army looked like a puddle of black in the distance; little dots infected the sky and flew over to the camp. Some of them fell and disappeared in the fading sun. More and more dots came flying in consecutively and with that more and more blurs fell. Some of the blurs became clear and I saw the army. Then I felt proud and unstoppable. I ran down the hill. My boots were tossing and turning side to side because my laces were loose. I reached the army and an officer said...

T-SHIRTS

The school still has some T-shirts for sale for $8. We have child small, medium, and large. There are adult medium, large, and extra-large. Quantities are limited.

INTERNET PROBLEMS AT SCHOOL

We are experiencing some problems with our server that is limiting the internet access to the computers. Please be patient with us as we sort this out.

MAGAZINE DRIVE

This is the home stretch of our magazine drive. The last day to turn in will be Monday October 1^st. We have done about a $1000 in online sales! I have yet to total all the sales from orders turned in at school. We have lots of extra order forms and catalogs on the front table by Anita’s office. Please help yourself.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING

Tuesday night is the date set for Safe Environment Training. This is required for parents and anyone interested in driving for field trips, helping with class parties, classroom tutors, or any activity in which you may work alone with children. So see you tomorrow night at 7:00 Room 2. If you cannot make this date there will be another training in October at the Newman Center.

POTLUCK and OTHER GATHERING

For those who missed it, I will say it was a good one. We are hoping to do something of a social or educational nature once a month. We are planning a Reading Night on October 18, a Milk Can Supper on November 29, the Christmas Program is December 13, and Math Night on January 21.

HOME AND SCHOOL MEETING

One important date coming up is the Fall Barbecue at the church parking lot that will be held Friday, October 12 from 4:00 to 7:00. This year we are linking the event to the Air Force-Wyoming Homecoming Football Game. We will be sending sign-up sheets home in the next week. Our giant Spring Fiesta is set for May 4 so mark your calendar.

MR. JIMS PIZZA

Mr. Jim’s Pizza is our exclusive Pizza Parlor for this school year. We are not locked in to a specific day so keep the flyer on the fridge and give it to the driver or take it to Mr. Jim’s for a school contribution of 10%.

SAFEWAY SHOPPERS

We have a deal for you! Buy a $10 reloadable card and use it whenever you shop at Safeway for groceries, spirits, gas, and prescriptions. No more forgetting to stop by the school to buy a card. You can load any amount onto the card at the store before you checkout. We also have the traditional cards in $50 or $100 amounts.

Also, don’t forget about the Safeway Back to School campaign. All you need to do is drop your Safeway receipts, with the Back to School code on them, in the big Campbell’s Soup Can by the office door. This is a limited time campaign so gather up all those cash register slips from family, friends, and neighbors.

K-KIDS

The students in grades 3^rd through 6^th will be a part of a service organization called K-Kids which is the youth arm of Kiwanis of Laramie. The first project for them is Peanut Day on October 6. More details about that day will be going home to parents next week. Katrina Cox is the Kiwanis sponsor.

FOOD FOR THE POOR

I believe there is strength in numbers, so I thought it would be a great idea if the students took up a daily collection for the poor. Every day at lunch, after prayer, we will ask the children to bring donate their change for the poor. Please be generous in this effort to Feed the Hungry. Donations will be made to the Catholic Organization Food for the Poor.

MISCELANEOUS NOTES

Students in grades K-6 will be dismissed through the South Gym Doors at the corner of Sheridan and 4^th Street. Please wait outside for your children in order to avoid congestion in the halls and lobby.

In keeping with the new federal food mandates, please

consider sending fruit, veggies, cheese, fruit popsicles, or

other healthy treats for birthday or holiday celebrations.
