Middle School Gratitude Challenge
Congratulations Bella Blaha! Bella, along with many other middle school students, participated in the September Middle School Gratitude Challenge. Mrs. Poniatowski presented the voluntary challenge to all middle school students at the end of August. Each month throughout the school year, middle school students will have the opportunity to complete and submit a calendar filled with things they are grateful for. Bella’s name was drawn from all the September participants and she selected a homework pass as her prize. The October calendar has been shared with all middle school students and is due Nov. 1st. Who will be the next winner?

John-Paul-the Great Open House
We will be having our first (and only) Fall Open House on Saturday, October 30 at 1:30 PM. Because the building is not ready for an event, we will be hosting the gathering at the Lourdes gym. At this event, interested parents can learn about the mission, vision, curriculum, and admissions. We will also be touring the (under construction) building.
I have attached a PDF flyer that we are hoping you can distribute to families in your school community. We also have printed boxes of these that we would be willing to deliver (just tell us how many) to your office.
Space is limited at the event, so registration is required. The most important place interested parents can go is our website, jpthegreatdenver.org
