From the Classroom and Around our School
HTS Students will learn Coding
Mrs. Henneberg, Technology Teacher, was invited to attend a workshop in Phoenix this summer. The workshop was put on by CODE.ORG. TeacherCon is an intensive, hands-on, in-person workshop providing foundational experiences with computer science and the Code.org suite of tools. The five-day workshop is the primary capacity building experience for educators gearing up to teach their first year of CS Discoveries or CS Principles.
Over the course of the week, she joined with hundreds of teachers from across the country to explore the curriculum and tools, consider and experiment with specific classroom management and teaching strategies, and build a local community with teachers who are also implementing Code.org courses. Students in grades 1-8 at HTS will have the opportunity to begin their own journey through coding during their technology classes. Mrs. Lorg will teach the students in grades 1 and 2, and Mrs Henneberg will teach students in grades 3 through 8. |
Summer Science Camps
Middle school science teacher, Dr.Occhiogrosso (Dr.O.) held two week-long, summer science camps.
The first camp was on June 18-22, 2018. It was a General Science Camp for students grades 4-8. Here’s just a few of the STEM-rich activities the campers enjoyed during the week:
The second was Robotics and Rocketry Camp. This STEM-heavy camp was held on July 16-20. The emphasis of the camp was on the Robotics and campers used the Boe-Bot Robot seen here https://www.parallax.com/product/boe-bot-robot. Some of the topics covered included:
A big Shout out and Thank you to the 4 high school students who were extremely helpful and the camps could not run nearly as efficiently and smoothly without their tremendous aide. The Assistants this summer were: past graduates Anthony DiGirolamo and Tim Brune. Dr.O.’s sons David and Frank were also on hand to help out. Dr.O. plans to offer his Week#1 General Science Camp and the Robotics and Rocketry Camp in the summer of 2019. |

Parish News and Events
Welcome back families!
Because so many of us have been on vacations, this notice may have been missed in the Bulletin. We are sending it to you because you will be coming to packet day on Sunday, and the school will be a collection site for this weekend’s food drive. The Leaven highlighted this week that the pantries are very low on food, and we wanted to help with the parish efforts to stock the pantry on 87th Street. The food will be delivered on Monday, and distributed next week. It is a very quick way to help the immediate shortage. The pantries are always low at this time of year. We are so thankful that Dennis and Pat Green have led this regular collection for years, and that it is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. They will be collecting cash donations and food at the church after each Mass. But if it is easier for you to drop off at the school, we will get the items to them. Thank you so much for any participation. |
