3rd Grade Dictionaries

For the past few years, our 3rd graders have been the fortunate recipients of new dictionaries. Venita Collier from the Lakewood Elks Lodge #17777, has represented the Lodge and come to the school to hand deliver the dictionaries to the students. 

During her visit, she also spent time reviewing the proper way to use a dictionary, and its extra resources. The students enjoyed finding the longest word in the dictionary. The word,  "Tryptophan synthetase A protein", is an enzyme that has 267 amino acids, and makes a record of 1,909 letters. It is the term for the formula C-1289 H-2051 N-343 O-375 S8.

Thank You Lakewood Elks Lodge!!

Community Partnerships

Annunciation Catholic School is blessed to have a number of community partnerships. It is always a joy to have guests in the building assisting with our students, or learning about our great school. This past month, we were lucky to have the Kids In Need of Dentistry (KIND) Program, and the Regis University Nursing students in our building to provide teeth cleaning and health check-ups.

Through KIND, our 2nd grade students were able to have their teeth checked and cleaned. Additionally, each 2nd grader was entered into a drawing to win a bike, congrats to Bryant who won the bike and the helmet!

Last week, the Regis University Nursing Students performed Health and Wellness checks for our Kindergarten and 1st grade students. We have partnered with Regis University for many years, and during the year have student nurses in the building assisting Mr. Steck and the classroom teachers with teaching the health curriculum.

We are very appreciative of these two organizations (and the many others) who support our students and their families!
