Miss Nardecchia and Mrs. Griffin's 4 year old classes have gotten to play at a pretend bee farm this month! With some help from Stein's Honey, they were able to wear a real bee suit and play with some harvesting tools. They sprayed the bees (yellow eggs) to make them sleepy and then brushed them out of the hive. Next, they moved the honey (yellow pom poms) over to be spun and harvested (using a salad spinner). Last, they put their honey into containers to sell. There were always kids playing at the bee farm!

The 4 yr old preschool classes are learning about life cycles. The Kradlack family from Monroeville donated chicken eggs, which were put into incubators. They waited patiently for 21 days before the eggs started to crack. In a span of 48 hours there were a total of 10 baby chicks. The students are learning about a chick's life cycle, along with how to care for them and show them love.

Spring Greetings!
It is hard to believe that we will be celebrating the 20th Spring Fling this year! The Spring Fling has surely evolved since its inception two decades ago only utilizing half of the Convocation Center Gym for dinner and a small auction. This wonderful event has grown into an outstanding fundraiser for Norwalk Catholic School as well as a community builder for our Flyer Families. We have cruised the evening on a riverboat, welcomed the circus into town, partied like we were in the Roaring 20's, took a dive under the sea, won it big in Las Vegas, and auctioned from a baseball diamond. We love hearing about the stories and memories created at past Spring Fling events. Please share them with us at this milestone.
As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Spring Fling, just as we did in 2020, we will be hosting the event virtually in hopes to see all of you again in person in 2022. This year's event will once more be presented through GiveSmart and the live auction portion will be live streamed through Facebook and YouTube with our wonderful MC Skip Wilde and a special co-host for 2021. We hope that you, your family, and friends will join us virtually on Saturday, May 8th for a night of delicious food, abundant bidding, various raffles, and countless laughs as we celebrate and raise funds towards the excellent catholic education that we offer at Norwalk Catholic School and St. Paul High School.
Truly Yours,
The Spring Fling Committee

PTO Super Bowl Board
Thank you to everyone who purchased a square and good luck!
This week the 4 year olds in Miss Nardecchia and Mrs Griffins class learned about artists. Before the week started they voted between the topic of artists or habitats. Since artists won, they learned about Picasso, Matisse, Seurat, Kandinsky, and Michelangelo. They painted with dots like Seurat and made art with shapes like Kandinsky. They learned that Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. They drew pictures under tables to see what it was like for Michelangelo. The students decided there was no way he was comfortable and it had to be very hard for him.

All of the kindergarteners have been learning about what makes a strong sentence. They made sentence buddies in language arts class to remember the important parts of a sentence. They learned that every sentence needs a cap...capital letter at the beginning, shoes... punctuation at the end, and arms... a verb and a noun. Without one of these parts, it would not be a good sentence! The kindergarteners have spent the first quarter learning about letters, letter sounds, capitalization, punctuation, verbs, and nouns. Mrs. Gioffre is so proud of how much they have learned so far! They did a great job making their sentence buddies! They hang in the hallways and in the classrooms as a reminder for when they are working on their writing.
This week staff and students participated in "Kindness Week!" As students were preforming random acts of kindness, Mrs. Pertner reminded them to the "I" in kind!

Mrs. Zendejas' and Mrs. Stoll's 4 year old preschool classes adopted a soldier to pray for this Veterans Day. Each child got to pick out two toy soldiers that had a name of an active duty soldier or a Veteran attached to it. They are encouraged to pray for their soldier and even write to their soldier if they choose to. We also sent a picture to the soldier with the child that adopted them with a handmade card and words of encouragement. This was a great project for the kids and for Mrs. Zendejas as she is a proud Vietnam Veteran daughter!

Mrs. Zendejas' and Mrs. Stoll's classes went down on the farm. What great fun it was to "herd" the pigs and sheep back into their pens, "shear" a sheep, feed the horses and tend to the chicken coop. The children were also able to see an egg experiment. What happens when an egg is put in vinegar and another in water? It was fun to discover that the egg in the vinegar became rubbery after sitting in the vinegar for four days but they also discovered that when the egg was thrown on the ground, the yolk splattered farther than the egg that was in the water. The children also got to witness the crows eating the eggs on the ground. It was fun for all!

This summer, I decided to make the move back home and am very fortunate to have the opportunity to work for my Alma Mater, Norwalk Catholic School (2015). I’ve grown up my entire life in the Norwalk community and am excited for my future here! When not teaching, I love to spend time outside doing whatever I can in the sun. At Heidelberg, I was a four-year letter winner in volleyball and am currently the 8th grade girl’s coach which I am thrilled for. Volleyball is a huge passion of mine and I’m looking forward to helping young girls learn to love the game in the same place that I did! As the school year is now approaching, I am getting anxious to meet all of my co-workers and students for what will surely be a year to remember!

Here is a short message from Mr. Quezada: I was born the 10th child of a very devout Catholic family of 12 children. I was raised in a small but beautiful and quaint town in Northern Mexico. Family necessities brought us all to California, and eventually God led me all this way to Norwalk, Ohio. Since I was little, I have always had a spiritual and intellectual inclination towards my Catholic faith. I hope that as a teacher I will be able to share my spiritual and intellectual interests with my students as well as their parents, while simultaneously learning from their own faith journey. I am excited to be a part of this new family!

I have played volleyball my entire life and my team won the state championship my senior year at Huron High School. Since then, I have been coaching at St. Paul for the past four years. I am very passionate about the game and enjoy sharing that passion with my players. I spent my childhood growing up in Collins but moved to Huron a few years ago where I currently reside. In my spare time, you can find me with my family, friends, or playing with my dog, Herm. I recently got engaged to my boyfriend, Tyler of 4 years. We are planning on getting married in the fall of 2022. I am so excited to meet my students and jump start my career!

We at Norwalk Catholic School are working to provide a detailed update later this week. Please know all of us are working tirelessly to provide support as best we can as we practice social distancing. As teachers make a good faith effort to provide instruction for our students, I ask students to continue to make a good faith effort in engaging in the learning the teachers are providing. Expectations for online learning will also be updated as part of this extended closure. Please pray for the health, healing, and safety of all people.

Friends for the Future Faithful Flyers
Our Kick-Off Weekend is Feb. 1st & 2nd.
Friends for the Future is our annual fund which provides necessary operating funds to the school for day-to-day operations. NCS is able to keep tuition affordable because of a "three-legged stool" financial model with roughly 1/3 of the cost to educate coming through tuition, 1/3 from supportive parishes, and 1/3 provided from generous donations to Friends for the Future and other programs.
Yes -- we do humbly ask you to consider 2 Commitments this year to Norwalk Catholic Schools. Please make a commitment to today and tomorrow.
JOIN US TO CELEBRATE OUR COMMITMENT AS FAITHFUL FLYERS!
