SIDEWALK MATH AT ST. HELEN SCHOOL
Third Graders at St. Helen School reviewed addition and subtraction with regrouping outside with sidewalk chalk to celebrate the first warm, sunny day of 2021. They loved practicing their math in a creative and fun way! Pictured are some of Miss Reichard’s Third Grade Class practicing their math skills.
 
​FEBRUARY IS BREAKFAST BAG MONTH
St. Helen School’s Spirit and Service Squad hosted their month long service project of making breakfast bags. The breakfast bags benefit Saint Paschal Baylon’s Helping Hands Ministry. The Spirit and Service Squad has completed this service project for several years and have made several thousand breakfast bags. Students brought in various food and drink items and placed them in bins in the atrium of the school. Each class decorated lunch bags with words of encouragement. The Eighth Grade class filled the bags each week. The bags were then picked up by volunteers who distributed them to the homeless. Pictured is Mrs. Joyce’s Eighth Grade Spirit and Service Squad proudly displaying the final breakfast bags that put them well over their goal of 500 breakfast bags.

​HIP, HIP HOORAY, IT'S  100’S DAY!
  The K and 1st grade students of St. Helen were excited to celebrate being 100 days smarter as 100 year olds on the 100th day of school. The day was filled with activities reinforcing the number 100.  Some of the favorite activities of the day included the 100 Licks of a lollipop and 100 Hershey Kiss hunt. Students practiced counting to 100 by 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, 20s, and 50s. Students built different structures using 100 cups of various sizes. They raced to read as many words as they could in 100 seconds and used word families to write 100 rhyming words! Some students dressed up to be 100 years old, while others made shirts decorated with 100 items. It's hard to believe we have been learning together for 100 days!
