The Home and School Association at St. Joan of Arc Catholic School hosts breakfasts for students who earn Honor Roll status each quarter. During the breakfast, students enjoy donuts and milk while spending time with their friends. Students’ names are pulled for door prizes, one of which is an off-campus lunch with Principal Jeffrey Montz who is pictured with the winners: (from left) (front) Ainsley Mulkey, Brooklyn Williams, Darren Tran, (back) Principal Montz, Tyler Milioto, Kate Brady, Hollianna Perrilloux, and Braelyn Sutherland.

Students at St. Joan of Arc Catholic School recently auditioned for Missoula Children’s Theatre’s Alice in Wonderland. After a week of rehearsals, the students performed two shows Nov. 10. “Middle Alice” portrayed by Layla Jackson (right) and Alice’s older sister “Margaret” portrayed by Kaylee Bossier (left) opened the show with Margaret reading a book to Alice as Alice’s curiosity and imagination led her to Wonderland where she met a variety of characters from stories and nursery rhymes.

Among the characters in Alice’s adventure were “King of Hearts” Nathan Englade (from left), “Queen of Hearts” Amari Tassin, and “Knave of Hearts” Gracie Rios.

Mock Turtle” Kacey Beadle (standing) shared his wisdom with “White Rabbit” MCT director Cody D. Schmitt (seated from left), “Tall Alice” Destiny Walker, and “Gryphon” Nathaly Villezcas.

“Lobsters” (from left) Molly Beadle, Olivia Jacob, Rance Howard, and Emersyn Banquer danced for “Tall Alice” Destiny Walker (middle) with “Mock Turtle” Kacey Beadle and “Gryphon” Nathaly Villezcas (behind lobsters right).

Nursery rhyme favorite “Humpty Dumpty” Isabella Morgan met “Small Alice” Skylar Heckathorn during her time in Wonderland.

Three students received awards for their artwork that was submitted to the St. John Industrial Group’s annual art contest. These students were presented with certificates at a breakfast ceremony sponsored by the group. Lacy Fox (left) won first place in the 3rd grade division. In the 6th grade division, Krysta Clement (middle) received honorable mention, and Bryleigh Sutherland (right) placed third. This year’s theme was “Our Sustainable Future.”

The third grade students continued a tradition as they dressed as saints of the Catholic Church at a recent school Mass. Each student learned about the saint he/she portrayed, and during the homily Father Pat Collum asked them to share some things they learned. After Mass, the students visited the preschool classrooms and told the school’s youngest students as which saint each was dressed.

Students are presented with “Viking Virtue” cards when they are seen performing kind, selfless acts worthy of recognition. They place their cards in one of the three baskets. Each week three names are pulled. Those students are recognized at the school’s weekly assembly, and Principal Jeffrey Montz communicates their accomplishments to their parents. The students receive special privileges like getting a dress-down day during the week, going to the front of the lunch line with a friend and receiving a treat at recess. The students who earned this honor during October were (bottom) Sawyer Foulon (from left) Lillian Williams, Ava Deroche, Brooklyn Tregre, (2nd row) Nia Gaudet, Travis Marchetta, George Birdrow, (3rd row) Allison Duhe, Aubrey Burl, Rylie Panepinto, (top) Jay Childs, Charlize Rousseve-Kirklon, Logan Barrios, (not pictured) Layla Jackson, and Noelle Remondet.
