Peace Day

We recently celebrated "Peace Day" at Annunciation. This annual tradition is a favorite among students and staff, as it gives the school community a chance to reflect on peacemakers around the world, and ways that we ourselves can promote peace.

This year's theme is "Be An Instrument Of Peace". On Peace Day, students learned about a peacemaker, and created presentations to show that peacemaker to the school. Each class also read the book "Sadako and the Paper Cranes", and created paper cranes to send to Japan as a symbol of peace around the world. 

We are thankful for Ms. Sheila Karpan and the Peace Day committee for all the work they did to make Peace Day a success. We are proud of our "peaceful" community and are blessed to have students who know what it means to be a peacemaker in the world. 

Academic Decathlon

This past Saturday, 3 members of our 8th grade and 1 member of our 7th grade represented Annunciation Catholic School in the Diocesan Academic Decathlon.

Annunciation and St. Rose paired together to make a team. We faced off against 15 other teams in the Archdiocese. Overall, our students did well, and had fun in the process.

This is the 2nd year of the Academic Decathlon here in Denver. Students spend weeks learning material that will be covered on the individual and team tests. We are very proud of the work our team did to prepare for the Decathlon, and are proud that they have learned the true value of hard work and academic achievement.

Special thanks to Mr. Bernardin for coaching this year's team. We look forward to competing again next year!
