Dear Students:

This week you will have ERB testing in English class. Take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your writing skills.
Grade 6 and 7 will also have Math Honors testing. You are all encouraged to thoroughly consider the questions and do your
best.

Friday, March 13 marks the end of the 3rd quarter, and report cards will be distributed during the week of March 16. We hope
that you have been accessing PowerSchool to check your assignments and grades and meeting with teachers for any
additional support you need. Remember…one way to act responsibly is to take the initiative for your own learning!

Looking ahead…Course registration for next school year will happen from March 23 – 27. More information will follow.

Enjoy the last of week of class before our Semester Break.

 GOODWILL GYMNASTICS MEET
Last Saturday a very busy, long but extremely successful day of gymnastics was held at the ISM MS
Gymnasium. Our ISM Bearcat Gymnastics teams did a great job representing us as the host school and I would
like to congratulate all the girls and coaches for their efforts. The individual and team results are posted in this
bulletin.
I would also like to recognize the hard work put in by our Bearcat Gymnastics Parent Booster Club led
by President Jenny Kinsella, Kerrie Uytengsu, Ane Preysler and the team of parent helpers who assisted in so
many areas with this large event. This event would not be possible without the support of the parent volunteers in the areas of team registra-
tion, sponsors support, awards ceremonies, t-shirt/program/snack sales booths, goodie bags etc. No doubt the gymnasts and the moms
slept very well when they finally got home on Saturday evening.

I would also like to recognize the efforts of the following people/groups for their help in making this event happen: ATAC staff (Triz,
Joan, the ATAC boys) for logistics and facility set up; Custodial staff; AV/IT staff; Medical Clinic staff; Security and Transportation office staff;
Mr. Noel Santos and his team of judges and officials; and ISM Gymnastics Coaches.

Regards,

Mark Pekin
