SIXTH GRADE MUSICAL: THE LION KING

After months of preparation, on April 28 and 29, the sixth grade class performed the much anticipated annual musical: The Lion King. It was an incredible performance led by directors Shannon Cron, Olga Morales, and Tina Maxwell. With the seventh- and eighth-grader choristers as the supporting voices, the sixth grade students brought outstanding acting, singing, and dancing to the stage for three performances. A special thanks to fifth grade teacher, Matt Dugan, and art teacher, Claire Shea, for their creation of the background scenery. Congratulations to all of the sixth grade students for their hard work and perseverance.

LOLLIPOP DAY

On May 2, St. Jane de Chantal welcomed accepted students and families for the 2016-17 school year. The annual day of welcome, known as “Lollipop Day,” included an opportunity for incoming kindergarten students to meet their teachers, visit their classrooms, and spend time together. Parents received a warm welcome from Mrs. Hamilton and HSA President Mrs. Kelley.

SPACE STATION DE CHANTAL

The fourth grade participated in Space Station de Chantal. With the help of some wonderful parent volunteers, students made models of Mars Rovers out of candy, made paper rockets, tried astronaut ice cream, created constellations in a can, and made moon craters.

PRE-K ZOO TRIP

The pre-k has worked very hard all year on their alphabet and have finally finished letters A-Z. To celebrate their accomplishment, they went to the National Zoo to find all of their animal friends that begin with each letter of the alphabet. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! The children were able to meet the newest addition to the panda family, Bei Bei.
