| CHRISTMAS POSTERS WERE JUDGED mid December for 1st - 4th graders with the 1st place winners going to the diocesan level. In all, there were 123 total entries. It is amazing to see Christmas through the eyes of these kids in their posters along with their drawing talent. It's clear the kids know the true meaning of Christmas. The winners of the poster contest will be announced at the KC pancake breakfast February 8th. | |||||||||

| THE KNOWLEDGE CONTEST for 5th and 6th graders takes place the month of January. The questions are no easy feat. If you've watched the show, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader you know how tough the questions can get.
