🎃Trunk or Treat👻

ARMY CRAWL EXERCISE ELC students enjoy their Physical Education time Mr. Hagan.

The 6th Graders used PlayDoh and a popsicle stick to write their names in cuneiform, the Ancient Mesopotamian writing system. This was the first writing system in the world, and they had a blast bringing history to life!

Kindergarten earned a stuffed animal day. They had a blast! Keep up the great work!

✝️6th Graders did a lovely job leading our Liturgy of the Word this morning and it was awesome to have our 2025-26 Choir sing for the first time this year!🎼

SDJCA 8th graders and parents volunteered on Saturday at the Greater Chicago Food Depository. They were part of a group that packed 2,430 lbs of food, that will be enough servings for 1,219 households! Getting those service hours in and helping those in need. The kids worked so hard, and did this with smiles on their faces!! 💜 We are SDJCA.

Students adopted their special reading buddy for the year. A contract was signed promising to read to the friend each night. It was an amazing week!

Our youngest SDJCA learners have begun the fun of learning rote counting and one to one correspondence from zero to ten. Through an activity of using ten frames and counting classmates, they were engaged and thrilled to tackle this task this week!

Yesterday in a Salem Witch Trials activity, 8th Grade students played the Dot Game to see how quickly fear and suspicion can spread through a community. Just like in 1692, accusations often outweighed evidence. Little did they know, no one was guilty!
