Students can expect to enhance their knowledge of Technology and learn how to use Technology to be better students. We have the use of both PC's and Chromebooks. Students learn a wide range of programs that will serve them well as they advance in their education and further in life.
I teach Technology to students in grades K-8. Each grade builds on what they learned the previous year. The middle school students (grades 6, 7 and 8) have a little more freedom in choosing their research topics.
Greetings Parents
It is a pleasure and privilege to learn and grow with your children. Please don't hesitate to contact me via email with any questions or concerns.
O God, of all that is and ever will be, inspiring, and guiding our ancestors in the faith, such as the prophet Daniel, in his challenging life as a government official and your spokesperson for his exiled people. How grateful we are for His testimony that gave inspiration for St. John to write about his own revelations focused on Jesus’ role in our salvation history! Oh, such power at the hands of Daniel and of Jesus, too, and yet what a reversal of our human way of thinking: to be true to the Word of God in our hearts and lives, we too are called to discern our use of power and authority so as to avoid reliance on purely material means so as to emulate Daniel and Jesus in their espousal of the power of truth in their inner spirit guided by the Spirit of God, no less.
Amen.
Father John P. Martin, M.M.
