Our Resident Sports Writer

All of us in Room 4A are proud of our St. Ephrem's official 2009 World Series sports writer, Dan Avington. Make sure to read Dan's recaps of the games on the St. Ephrem website. http://saintephremschool.com/online%20communication/Oct%2009/World%20Series%20Game%202.pdf

If you love sports, there are many careers where you can use your talents to be a part of the game - even if you're not one of the players! Do you know someone who has a sports-related job?

Fall Festival 2009

Our New Blog

I am very excited about the possibilities of our new class blog. Blogging is one of the newest ways for people to communicate. What do you think of our blog?

We're Helping Monarch Butterflies

Our class is participating with other classrooms throughout North America in a symbolic butterfly migration. The project is sponsored by Journey North, an organization that provides educational programs about endangered species and promotes conservation efforts. Our butterflies are now on their way to Mexico. They will spend the winter there, just as the real monarch butterflies do. They will be cared for by a class of schoolchildren there, and in the spring we will receive butterflies in return. Our beautifully decorated butterflies carried messages of friendship to our neighbors in Mexico.
