The 7th grade students in Mr Baresel's social studies class experienced what it was like to build a musket in the American Revolution. Using balloons and cardboard they created confetti muskets and tested to see if they would work.

The 6th-grade students traveled to the Putnam Museum to learn about Ancient Egypt. They saw 2,000 year old mummies, heard from historical reenactors and one student even became a mummy himself! Then they explored the different science and physics exhibits to learn more about the Egyptian scientific tradition.



Kindergarten Snow Play Days are the best days!! After all their snow fun, they warmed up with hot chocolate. ☃️


Petra was an amazing principal for the day at Jordan! She kept Mrs. McLaughlin on schedule with a busy agenda filled with classroom observations, department check ins and unexpected tasks throughout the day. Ms. P felt that all the students were demonstrating on task behavior so they will be rewarded with donut holes in the near future. Thank you Petra for your assistance today!
Mrs. Dodson pulled her usual tricks and tried to get some gift cards, a kiln to fire her ceramics, a candy machine and of course, a raise. Ms. P felt that a high five would satisfy her laundry list and Mrs. Dodson walked away ‘happy’.
She will have to follow up on Mrs. Dodson’s report of custodial staff complaints regarding “glitter everywhere” when cleaning her hallway. A debrief is scheduled for a later date.

Today is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Father, the image of the Virgin is found in your Church. Mary had a faith that your Spirit prepared and a love that never knew sin, for you kept her sinless from the first moment of her conception. Trace in our actions the lines of her love, in our hearts her readiness of faith. Prepare once again a world for your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen!

meditated on Romans 12:9–18 and were reminded that when it comes to friendships, God calls us to:
💛 Do good and not harm — even to those who are different from us.
🤝 Share in the ups and downs with our friends.
😊 Be kind to everyone (yes… everyone).
🌟 Remember that every person is valuable.
👀 Look for the good in others — it’s always there.
And above all…
❤️ Kindness is one of the most beautiful gifts you can give.

Several members of the Jordan Catholic School Student Leaders brought some Christmas joy to the school by decorating the school's Christmas tree by the main office. May the tree and the nativity shine the joy and light of the season to everyone who enters our school.
Christmas is the summer of the soul in December. 🎄

Congratulations to our November Students of the Month who were nominated by their teachers for displaying the virtue of Charity. Well done, Jaguars! 💙💛

Jordan students closed their school day by spending quiet time in prayer, reflection, or meditation in the presence of Jesus during Adoration.



Thank you to everyone who helped “stuff the turkey” last week. Altogether, we raised $1,471.75. This will allow our EarlyAct Club to purchase Christmas gifts for about 13 children in need this year. Way to go, Jaguars! 💙💛


7th grade spent their indoor recess time on this very cold winter day crafting ornaments for the St. Pius Christmas tree. 🎄
