Saint Philip Neri School

SPN students always willing to help out. ⭐️

Looks like we may have new SPN preschoolers. Alameda turkeys are the best.

Congratulations to SPN 8th grader, Kaleb Condez, on receiving the “Hope of America” citizen award from the Alameda Kiwanis Club. We are so proud of you!

Potential new students checking out SPN?

Last week our middle school Drama elective performed “Motjer Goosed” for students and families. Congratulations students on another fantastic performance and thank you Nicole Schuler, our amazing and talented Drama teacher for all of your hard work in preparing these actors and actresses with the skills to perform.

Much appreciation for our super volunteer, Mrs. Rhatigan, who invites the classes to pick oranges every year from her tree right down the street. Students get to sample the oranges, learn about citrus, and take one home.

We want to wish our participating middle schoolers well wishes in the Academic Decathlon tomorrow.
The Academic Junior High Decathlon is a one-day competition for Catholic School students in grades 6-8. Saturday, March 2, 10 SPN Middle School students will be participating in the Diocese of Oakland regional competition at Moreau Catholic High School.
This is SPN's 3rd year participating but the first year that Oakland is hosting a regional.
There are 10 events:
Two are collaborative team efforts – a Logic Quiz with 20 rigorous thinking problems, and a Super Quiz with 50 multiple choice questions on five broad academic themes.
The remaining eight events test individual knowledge of Roman Catholic doctrine, English, Literature, Science, Mathematics, Current Events, Social Studies, and Fine Arts (Art and Music).

Over the last few years, our 8th grade students have participated in a Moot Court project. It is led by a wonderful volunteer and attorney, Anna Rossi. In five weeks the students are versed in the different parts of the court system on all levels and a court case. Some students are attorneys and witnesses for the plaintiff and defendant. Other students serve as the jury. This is a fun and relevant opportunity for students to apply their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights to a real world “hypothetical” case.

Middle grade author Kelly Yang will be at Lincoln Middle School this Friday to talk about her latest book “Finally Heard.” It is hosted by Books Inc and anyone is invited. Tickets on sale now, and includes her latest book.
