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.

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!

I am very excited to return to Norwalk Catholic School to teach Science after previously teaching here from 2010 -2015. After leaving Norwalk St. Paul in 2015, I continued to teach for the Toledo Catholic Diocese at my home parish of Mansfield St. Peter's in 2016. Since then, I have been a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Science Education at The Ohio State University's College of Education and a University Supervisor of Field Experiences and Internships at Ashland University. I have always felt that NCS is a very special place, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to return. I am truly honored to be teaching Physics and Chemistry, along with Anatomy and Physiology and AP Biology.

In my free time I enjoy walking my dogs, painting, knitting, and other creative or crafting activities.

New Teacher Spotlight! Please join us in welcoming Miss. Sydney Moore who will be in the 4th grade classroom. Here is a short message from Miss. Moore: Hello! My name is Sydney Moore and I am a 2019 Graduate of Heidelberg University. Previously, I was teaching 3rd grade at Rosary Cathedral Catholic School in Toledo, Ohio. 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!

New Teacher Spotlight! Please join us in welcoming Mr. Horacio Quezada who will be teaching Junior High & High School Theology. 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!

New Teacher Spotlight! Please join us in welcoming Miss. Jacqui Mullins who will be in the 4th grade classroom. Here is a short message from Miss. Mullins: My name is Jacqui Mullins and this will be my first year teaching. I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a major in Early Childhood Education, and completed the 4th and 5th grade endorsement. 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!
