From the Principal's Office: |
Next week we will celebrate Catholic Schools Week. This is one of the most important weeks throughout the year because it represents why we are at HTS and not at just any area school. Thank you for choosing HTS for your family. By choosing HTS you have shown your commitment to educate your child in an environment enriched in our faith. I understand the sacrifices it takes to do this and thus we strive to give you the best academic, spiritual and emotional experience in the area. As teachers, we all continue learning to keep up with new initiatives and techniques. At HTS this also includes our faith journey. As parents, you also have the duty to practice your faith and continue the teachings that the students receive in school. There are many ways to do this including prayer at home, participating with your children at Mass, catechesis and adoration. Our school is the foundation of faith for our kids’ journey. Help us continue to spread God’s love through our kids. They are the future of our faith.
Please follow along in our Catholic Schools Week schedule. Teachers will send reminders. With all the activities, please call with any questions regarding dates or activities.
God Bless

Mrs. Strathman's 2nd Grade Class
Hello! My name is Mrs. Patricia Strathman and I’ve been teaching second grade at HTS since 2012. I’m a graduate of Kansas State and have been teaching in kindergarten, first, and second grades for 23 years. My husband Eric and I have been parishioners for almost 20 years. We have 3 daughters who are a senior at Aquinas, a sophomore at Aquinas, and a 6th grader here at HTS.
In second grade, the students grow in so many ways throughout the year! They become much stronger readers, start reading chapter books, and learn to do basic research. In math, learning to add and subtract with regrouping are two of the biggest skills mastered. We learn about a variety of science and social studies topics. Right now we’re learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy in our world.
Most second grade students will receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion. In our classroom, we will learn about the sacraments and the students will learn about them at home with their parents. Students will also have the opportunity to meet with Mrs. Kathleen Willis to learn more about the sacraments. In addition, we’ll learn about saints, prayers, the parts of the Mass, and the church liturgical year. We also meet with our 8th grade buddies throughout the year for special activities!
We love learning in second grade and it’s a joy to see how much the children grow emotionally, socially, physically, academically, and spiritually! Thank you all for your continued support of Catholic education!
