Mrs. Castor, Art- I hope everyone is hanging in there! Thought your students may like a creative break!!

The link below is an Easter drawing video. If you're interested, you'll need a pencil, paper and something to color with (either crayons, markers or colored pencils are fine)!!

Feel free to send me a picture of your finished drawing!

Mrs. Carter, Pre-K Aid- This is Mrs. Carter and while we are not together right now you can still play a little game with your family that we play every morning waiting for all the kids to get to school when it starts to get a little too loud in the hall. Teach your Family the Quiet game. Don't forget to tell them 3 , 2 , 1 to start. And if they can't do the Quiet game , try the Whisper game. Miss you all a bunch, hope to see you all soon.

Mrs. Lydon, Administrative Assistant- Hello Gators, Wow, it has been a week since I have seen any of you, and boy do I miss you. I have seen some of you on Facebook doing your school work, great job! I look forward to seeing all of you soon.

Mrs. Ranieri, 2-1- I hope you are all doing well! I can't believe we haven't been in school for a whole week! I miss seeing all of your smiling faces each day. I miss hearing all about your weekend in our "Circle of Life", reading stories to you, listening to your stories, and teaching you each day. Please know that I am thinking of each of you. I am hoping we will see each other soon. Don't forget to help around your house and to read every day. Did anyone reach the 100 Book Challenge?

Mrs. Vrato, 1-1- I miss you! I miss seeing your sweet smiles every morning. I miss your laughter. I miss listening to you talk as you build with your dominoes or reading stories to one another after snack. I miss your super silly stories that you tell me each day. I miss our huge class-size group hugs! And I look forward to having all those things again soon :)

In the meantime, I want you to continue doing what we talked about last week: eating healthy, getting lots of sleep, washing your hands and not touching your face. Please send me photos when you can so that I can see your adorableness! And make sure to have fun everyday!

Ms. Gardner, 3-2- I miss you all very much. I am doing well here at home. I have been spending time with my family and my crazy dog, Reese! I hope you are doing well at home, too! I am so proud of all of the work you have been doing. Keep it up, you are doing an epic job. Don't forget to get in your Superman/Wonder Woman pose and tell yourself, "I got this!"

I can't wait to see you all again. Feel free to send me an email if you want to say hi :)

Ms. Pio, 7-1- Hi gang! I have to tell you how much I miss you all. I miss seeing you every day - praying with you, being together, and sharing so many laughs. But... you are awesome! You have stepped up to the challenge and taken it head on. I am so proud of you! Believe it or not, through all of this uncertainty, YOU have been my greatest teachers and my inspiration. Your heartfelt comments, your ever so patient guidance through google classroom, and your pictures of hot chocolate - brighten my every day. I love you all and pray that we are together again soon. Remember to have fun every day, be kind to one another. and keep praying!

Mrs. Philips, Catapult, Title I- I miss working with you so much! I hope you are listening to those in charge of you, and helping them out with whatever you can. Take care of yourselves, have fun, and do your schoolwork!!

Mrs. Levy, 4-2- Hi friends, I miss all of you dearly and I just wanted to say hello. I am just a keystroke away. Anything that you need I am here. Just send me a message. I am so glad that you are my students.

Mrs. Mulligan, 6-2- Hi everyone! I miss you guys!! You have done a great job keeping up with your school work this week and I am so proud of you. Don't forget to take time for your video games and TikTok dances! Stay safe and keep washing your hands!

Mrs. Stark, Development Director, Paraprofessional- Hi Kids! I can't believe a whole week has gone by already! I sure miss everyone's smiling faces and hugs! I hope everyone is doing their work and keeping busy. Remember to have some fun too! You can show your parents all the great GoNoodle or Kids Bop videos we do in school. And don't forget your Sight Word Bingo game on abcya.com. I hope that we can all stay in and keep healthy so that we can get back to school soon! Take care and BE GOOD! Lots of Love!

Miss Zanine, Office, Cares,- I hope this letter finds you safe and well! Although I no longer teach you, I still feel part of the St. Albert the Great community. When I walked the halls or sat in the office doing my jobs, your friendly greetings and smiling faces made my day. Even though it has only been a week, I find myself missing these interactions. As an extra shout out to the CARES students, I miss our card games and checker matches. Keep practicing so you can continue to beat me.

Please know that all the St. Albert the Great families are in my thoughts and prayers every day

Mrs. Finley, K-1 - Hello my friends! I really miss seeing you guys every day. I hope you are finding fun and interesting things to do. When we get back to school, I'm looking forward to hearing all about the new things you learned while you were at home with mom and dad. I love you all and can't wait to see you! Stay happy and kind.

Mrs. Durante, MCIU Reading Specialist- I really miss seeing you. You brighten my day and I love hearing all your stories and the things you have done during our Check-In times. Although I have been reading here at home, it isn't nearly as fun as when we read and do activities together! Check out my Avatar. Is your as EPIC as mine? Keep reading! Enjoy the time with your family and God Bless.

Mrs. Carradorini, 8-2- How is everyone holding up? I miss you sooooooo much! Everything from your smiling (half asleep) faces in the morning, to your silly debates over how all of our dystopian novels are somehow connected, to the very strange ritual of chanting "capitulate" (vocab. word) as you surround Joe, or 8-1's endless questions in religion ("just one more!") often led by Stephen. You are all special to me and each other. Sometimes it takes some time apart to realize just how much. While this is a CHALLENGE (Oooh, ahhh...), it is one that we can handle. Draw close to God during this time and help your family. I am thinking and praying for you.

Miss Burns, 1-2- I miss you all very much. I miss hearing all of your wonderful stories. I miss seeing all the pictures that you draw during snack time. I know that you are all working very hard at home. I loved seeing pictures of all your Leprechaun traps. They were very clever! Please send pictures whenever you can! I love seeing all the things that you create. I can't wait to hear all of your stories soon!

Mrs. McGowan, LSC- I miss seeing all your happy faces everyday. Even though we are not able to have school the way we are used to, you are all doing a good job working, learning and doing your best. I am so proud of you.

I have enjoyed seeing so many of you on Facebook. Please keep on sending them to Mr. Schrenk so we can continue to enjoy them. I hope before we know it we will all be back to school and continuing our great year.

See you soon.

"Don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do." - John Wooden

Mrs. Hamilton, Catapult, Title I- Hello to all of my Catapult Math kids!! I'm thinking of you and hope to see you soon!! To my 5th graders- Please keep practicing your Multiplication Tables!! Hang in there and take care! I miss you guys!!

Mrs. Costello, LSC- I miss you already. It has been much too quiet at my house!

In the meantime, I have been reading and catching up with friends and family over the phone. My husband is even teaching me how to play chess. (Thank goodness he is a very patient teacher.)

Maybe you, too, could try to learn a new game.

Mrs. Tursi, 4-1- I have been missing you all sooo much!! I miss your smiles, your laughs, your questions and your answers. You have all been doing an awesome job on your assignments this week. I am looking forward to reading the stories that you are going to write tomorrow. Continue to be engaged and remember that I am always here for you. I am keeping you and your families in my prayers.

Miss Dombrowski, 5-1- I cannot believe I am saying this..........but I miss school so much! I hope you are all finding ease with the new schedules and routines your parents have probably set for you. All of us, including myself and other adults have had to create new routines and I cannot tell you how proud I am of all of you! You have worked super hard getting your work done, but also trying to keep some type of normalcy on Google Classroom. Please, keep our space community based, send videos, pictures, whatever you want! Bored? Send me a picture of something you colored, or created, or are doing. I am interacting with you just like I would be as if I were in the classroom. I look forward to chatting each day and seeing the time you are putting into your academic...truly is EPIC!

I just want to remind everyone, even myself, make sure you are taking care of yourself on all levels. Mental health is the most important thing for you to do during an extremely outrageous circumstance. Go outside, walk a dog, paint a picture, knit, learn to do something new. Anything to keep you active and creating. I have gotten myself outside every day to go for a run, and I am trying to learn a new language! Cannot wait to hear from you, and hopefully see you soon!

Mrs. Hartsough, MCIU Speech- Hello to all of my Amazing Speech Friends! I miss you all very much! During this time when you are home with your family, you may be playing card and board games, as I have been. Please remember to keep practicing your speech sounds while playing these games... just like we do in speech class!!! I can't wait to see you again!

Mrs. Brunetti, Media Center- It really brightened my week to see some of your smiling faces on the SATG Facebook page celebrating St. Patrick's Day and staying on top of your schoolwork. Keep being the EPiC students that you are and I look forward to getting back to our school day and lunchtime routines.

Miss Gentry, 2-2- I hope all is well! I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your families during this time away from the classroom.

I miss seeing you and teaching you in person, but hopefully we will see each other again soon.

Please remain positive and stay healthy!

Mrs. Macchione. Kindergarten Aid- Hi Kindergarten! I hope you and your family are all doing well, staying healthy and safe! I miss seeing all of your smiling faces!

Mr. Burns, IT- I just wanted to say how much I miss all of you and to thank you. You don't know this, but I work at the most fun place on earth. No, it's not Disney World. It's our school. And you guys are the reason it is so much fun. Every day, I walk the halls in amazement at your enthusiasm and passion. I feel like a sponge that absorbs some of the tremendous energy you generate. You keep me young. 50 or 60 years from now, you will realize what a tremendous gift that is.

Stay well, fear not, and God willing, we'll see each other soon!I love you guys.

Miss Mason, 5-1- I hope you are doing well. I am so happy to see that everyone has been working hard on their assignments. I am proud of the work that you are doing. Many of you have told me that the days seem very long. I agree with you. It is so hard to be away from our friends and our normal routines.

I know many of you are using your electronics and that's great but don't forget to make time for other things, too. You know I'm going to tell you to read,read,read like I tell you every single day. Reading can take you to many places. Use this time to be more creative. You can draw, paint, listen/play music or try some baking. Make time each day to have fun and laugh.

Also, most especially don't forget to stay close to God during this difficult time. Remember, we are still in the season of Lent. You can pray the Stations, the Rosary or just talk to God. That relationship is so important. We need God in our lives each and every day. He wants to hear from you.

I pray for you each day and hope to see your smiling faces very soon. I miss you so much!

Mr. Plourde, P.E.- I hope you are all staying busy at home and continuing to be physically active. When you are inside you can do push ups, sit ups, planks, burpees, jumping jacks and other stretches and exercises. When you are outside you can practice for the ½ mile fitness challenge, ride bikes, jump rope, roller blade, shoot baskets, practice dance, gymnastics or martial arts. Any time you get a chance to help your parents out around the house or yard also is a great way to exercise. I have kept busy doing some things around my house and taking long walks with my dogs Bubba and Bella. It is always a great idea to stretch out before workouts and maybe we can learn some new exercises and stretches over this break and share with each other soon. Continue to keep washing your hands thoroughly.

I look forward to seeing you all back at school soon!

Mrs.Atras, STEM, Science 5th Grade-

I hope you and your family are doing well! I miss seeing all of your smiles as you enter our class. Science activities and STEM are definitely not as much fun without all of you and harder to do at home!

I am praying that all of you are staying safe during our time away and am looking forward to seeing all of you soon!

Miss Szysko- LCS- Just think--the work you do today (virtually) will affect your tomorrow. You are all strong and determined to learn which I hope never leaves, in fact it's building your independence as a learner. Keep up the hard work and know that your teacher is always here to guide you and is very proud of you! I miss all of your smiling faces.

Mr. Schmauk, Band Director- To my fabulous band musicians who I am so proud of! Remember these words...."this to shall pass" and when it does I want you all to be better and stronger musicians then you are today.

Practicing an instrument is absolutely one of the best ways to get away from boredom. Put it into your daily routine, you will feel better mentally and physically! Sign up for a zoom lesson! I will make it lots of fun!!

Mrs. Seweryn, Pre-K- Hello to all my preschool friends! I hope you are having fun with your family and listening to your mom and dad. I miss you very much and can't wait to see you in a few weeks.

Please stay safe and remember to listen to your parents.

Mrs. Youngers, Music -Hi Everybody - SATG kids! I miss you and love you! I especially miss my Pre-K through 5 grades. I am still planning on a recital with all our "country" music that we listened to last week! Praying it will work out and praying for our entire SATG community to stay well!

Mr. Wild, 7-2- I hope you are all doing well with everything. I miss each of you and I hope we get the chance to get back to school soon. You know me, there is always a lesson in everything that happens to us. In this case, it has been to be more appreciative of the time I have with my students, with you. I hope you have a similar sentiment and come to see how precious the time you have with your classmates is. Please keep up the good work and remember that self-discipline and work ethic are crucial in times like this. Find ways to be helpful while you're at home and I will see you soon. Stay safe.

Mrs.Alleva, K-1- Hope that all of you are enjoying the extra time with your families. Remember, that no matter where you are, there is always a chance to learn something new. Today is the first day of Spring and we know that means a new start. Be sure to get outside and see all of the trees starting to bloom and animals coming out of hibernation. Draw a picture of your favorite part of Spring. Stay happy and I can't wait to see you all again soon.

Mrs. Everlof, 8-1- There's nothing I, or anyone, can say to make up for the time you are losing in what is supposed to be one of your most exciting years.

But I can offer some encouragement. Right now, you have the power to make the most out of this unfortunate situation. If many years of teaching middle school has taught me anything, it's that people your age are resilient and creative.

Help one another and your family. Hang out with your parents, you might be surprised to find out how fun they can be. Are your grandparents lonely? Facetime or call them. Practice "social distancing," but stay as social as ever. FaceTime. Text. Tweet. Snapchat. Make Tik Tok videos Use your phones to connect and brighten someone's day. Feel free to post on Google Classroom, I would love to see what you have been up to.

Go outside and play! Binge Netflix and Disney+. Read books, read magazines or even the newspaper. Read something! Reach out to classmates. Listen to podcasts. Make a podcast. Start a journal, trust me you will be glad you have it in the years to come. You're living through history!

Know that this time we will pass and we will be back together again. This year may not be what you envisioned, but I'm eager to see what you do with it.

Mrs. Puccini, 5-2 and Spanish- Hola amigos! I miss you all so much. We may not be able to see each other now, but know you're in my heart, thoughts and prayers....and I'm just a Google Classroom message or email away! Keep yourselves mentally and physically healthy...and be nice to your parents! ;) Remember, we are all in this together. Oh, and Spike the Turtle says hi!

Mrs. Duffey, 3-1- I hope you and your families are all doing well. I want to let you know how much I love and miss you all. I always include a Morning Meeting with each Daily Work I send to you and your parents. I hope you are having Morning Meetings with your family. It is important that you share your feelings and please know that it is ok to feel all different feelings right now. Just be sure to talk about them with someone.

I wonder how many of you have been able to guess at the answer to all the corny jokes??? I also hope you are continuing with our 2:00 Go Noodle Break. They have added some new ones that I know you will enjoy! If you ever need to talk to someone, I am just an email away. I am already planning an awesome Donut Dance Party when we return!

Mrs. Gessner, Pre-K, Aid- I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy. I miss your smiling faces in the morning and making silly faces with you. I hope that you are keeping up with your learning and especially playing. It is important to remember that we are here for you and miss you terribly and can't wait get back to our routines.

Don't forget to shake your sillies out and draw some pictures for me. I can't wait to see them.

Mrs. Cunningham, Honors Math- It has been an incredible year at SATG. I am proud of each and every one of you! You have all worked so hard this year and we have made some really great memories and I hope when this is all said and done, we will continue to make many more! Keep up the great work with our new (hopefully temporary) format - distance online learning! I really miss coming in each day and seeing each and every one of you! You guys really make me LOVE what I do! Thank you for being incredibly great students!! Stay safe and healthy, and I hope to see everyone soon! Until then we still have our communication via google classroom, email, and hopefully soon zoom!

Mrs. Robinson, MCIU Counselor- When Mr. Schrenk asked us to write something to each of you I thought: What do I want you all to remember? I want you to remember to take care of yourself, all of you - your mind, your body and your spirit.

I hope you spend time doing these things every day:

Whatever makes you laugh and feel joy

Think of 5 things you are thankful for

Get out in nature

Take a few deep breaths

Play

Sleep

If you feel fear or worry - get up and do something to help stop the thought. Repeat to yourself: "I am safe. Everything is okay. I can handle this!"

Then DO something to re-set your thinking:

I wish you peace and I know that each of you has within you everything you will ever need to rise to the challenges you are presented with.
