Saint Charles Borromeo School

Note...Several times a month, the Pawprints Newspaper will publish an article about happenings and people at our school. All the articles are written and edited by our junior high Pawprints staff. Look for previous articles in the "Pawprints Archives"-just click the "ECOMMUNITY" tab above.This week's latest article is about our Stick Together assembly, written by Staff Writer Karissa Williams-Kuzmikas.

On October 2nd, 2018, the whole school attended the Stick Together Assembly at 1:45 in the gym. It was about sticking together with each other, and everyone around us. Did you know that you can’t recognize someone who is poor? The person sitting next to you could need help, and you just don’t realize it. That is a prime example of why we should always be by each others’ sides.Sixth-grader Briana Cuglewski says, “I like that we are collecting cans and socks to help people in need. And we will reach our goal of 700 cans by the 19th of October!  We should all stick together, and the assembly really helped that.”

     Mrs. Updegrove did a wonderful job in this presentation by comparing Oscar Romero and Mary to our lives. There were videos about the topics, and a few kindergarteners did a little demonstration. It showed that we are one in the eyes of God and really need to act like it.

   This assembly was important because we need to realize how important standing by each other is. I personally enjoyed when Mrs. Updegrove told us about Oscar Romero and showed that video. It really showed me what good things people can do in this life and how we should act the same. Seventh-grader Jazlyn Stanton states, “I’ll remember how Oscar Romero died for his faith. He is an example of how we should all lead our lives”.

    I believe this assembly was arranged for us this year because we need to understand that we need to be nice and stand by each other. We are all important and all have meaning. This assembly portrayed why we need to use our own lives to influence and be there for others for the good, not the bad. Acting this way also relates to our theme of Mission Possible:Holiness.  Achieving holiness starts with each other-and sticking together.

Student Teacher Ms. Rowland
By Contributing Writer Sara Tenerowicz

On Wednesday September 26, 2018, I met Ms. Rowland, our new student teacher at St. Charles Borromeo School. A student teacher is a college student who is studying to become a teacher. As part of Ms. Rowland's  training, she will spend fifteen weeks in an actual classroom, and eventually take over the teaching in the classroom. Ms. Rowland is teaching in Mrs. Mog’s third grade class. When she graduates from college, she wants to teach second or third grade students, so this assignment is a perfect fit. Her favorite subjects to teach are science and reading.

Ms. Rowland said that her favorite thing about Saint Charles Borromeo is how welcoming the students and teachers are here. She is not new to this area; Ms. Rowland went to high school at Normandy High School right here in Parma, Ohio, and went to college at Notre Dame College of Ohio.

When she is not teaching, her hobbies include knitting, crocheting, and painting. Her favorite author is Dr. Seuss, and her favorite food is seafood. Ms. Rowland’s piece of advice for the students is don’t be afraid to ask for help, because teachers will be there to help students.

After interviewing Ms.Rowland, I feel that the students in third grade are lucky to have her as a student teacher because she is extremely friendly and kind. Based on my interview I think she will make an excellent teacher. On behalf of all the students, faculty and staff at St. Charles Borromeo, we welcome your and hope you enjoy the rest of your student teaching here at Saint Charles School, Ms. Rowland!

Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic School is a faith community committed to sharing the responsibility of life long faith formation and preparing students for the future with relevant and authentic experiences in a nurturing, Christian environment.
