Welcome to 5th grade! I am so excited to be joining you on your journey through St. John Eudes Catholic School. We are going to have a fantastic year and learn so much! I will be teaching you all of your various ELA classes (Spelling, Reading, Vocabulary, etc.) and Math, as well as Social Studies and Art. I have many experiences in store for you and I hope you're ready to start the year off right.
Our Theme this year is: JESUS is the GREAT PROTECTOR! |
Mission StatementIt is the mission of St. John Eudes School to educate students with Christian morality, character, compassion and integrity, to live as committed followers of Jesus Christ as faithful members of the Catholic Church and to succeed in the 21st century as responsible learners, productive leaders, and caring citizens of their communities and environment.
Philosophy St. John Eudes School accepts the mission of educating students in faith and knowledge. We model Jesus Christ by centering our teaching on integrating faith, life, and learning, building community, and providing opportunities for worship. We concentrate on building character, learning as a process, valuing self-esteem, respecting individual differences and educating for service. We are committed to professing the spirit of Saint Paula Montal by nurturing Christian values, providing quality education and supporting families in teaching our Catholic faith. We follow the charism of St. John Eudes by fostering Christian service and demonstrating compassion to those in need. While parents serve as the primary educators, we serve as facilitators of learning that teach students to think, learn and make decisions. |
