Mrs. Grove’s English 30 class worked on making links between themes, symbols, and characters in Shakespeare’s Hamlet by doing a hexagonal thinking activity to engage critical thinking skills and then writing about their learning. It looks like a crazy activity, but "though this be madness, [...] there is method in't". But since "Brevity is the soul of wit", that's all for a caption for today. #gocrusaders #criticalthinking #2Bornot2B

Austin Ludwar is our Alumni Highlight of the Week! "Hey everyone! I'm Austin Ludwar. I'm part of the Class of 2021, and I'm sure most of you know Ms. Brown, (can't really miss her at the front office), but if some of you didn't know, she's my mother. It's been a roller coaster since graduation, I worked for 2 years as a maintenance worker at the Brooks Golf Course, then a brief stint working at SJCs cafeteria and now I'm working at Hermann's Sausage Hut, as a salesman and jerky and sausage maker, and it's the best job I've ever had. I'm also an active member of St. Mary's Parish. My advice to SJC students is to always show up every day to school and be ready to learn, never be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Lastly, Pray, Hope and don't worry. Start your day with prayer and end it with gratitude to God. Read the Bible and learn about the faith. Thanks everyone and God bless 🙏🏻✝️" Thanks for sending in your information Austin, and thanks for being a great model of faith and perseverance for SJC!

Did You Know!? Our very own Mr. Galeski has just released his THIRD novel, "Through Whom the Light Shines". Something to think about from catholicreads.com… “Fiction taught me how to live and breathe and imagine like a Catholic. It is also a key tool of the Church that we are letting lie fallow– and the harm from that is showing. Our nonfiction and academic study know no equal and yet many cradle Catholics fall away by the time they enter adulthood. We train our teachers, [...] and yet sometimes it is not the mind that needs converting, but the heart. Story feeds the heart.” Mr. Galeski's novel is "An extraordinary story of the struggle between satanic evil and grace in the Nazi death camp of Buchenwald, by an author whose research and insight bring the climax to a stunning peak." (from Justin Press). If you are interested in how this story might feed your heart and your advent faith journey, see Mr. Galeski! #gocrusaders #CTRfaith #teacherandauthor
