Embryology is the science that deals with the growth and development of an embryo. All birds lay eggs, which provide protection and nutrition for the developing embryo. Most people are familiar with chicken eggs because they are commonly found in our kitchens. Watching a fertile chicken egg develop can be an effective way to study embryology, investigate how organisms change and develop over time, and increase excitement and teamwork in the classroom.

HOLY THURSDAY

John 13: 12-17

12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Living Stations of the Cross presented by our very own Jr. High students.

Living Stations of the Cross presented by our very own Jr. High students.

The Stations of Cross is a series of 14 artistic images that depict the Passion of the Christ and His crucifixion. Many Catholics and others use these images to pray and reflect on the last hours of Jesus Christ. It originally began as a Roman Catholic devotion and is commonly done during the season of Lent, and especially on Good Friday.

The traditional 14 Stations of the Cross are: (1) Jesus is condemned to death, (2) Jesus accepts the cross, (3) Jesus falls the first time, (4) Jesus meets His Mother, (5) Simon of Cyrene carries the cross, (6) Veronica wipes the face of Jesus, (7) Jesus falls the second time, (8) Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem, (9) Jesus falls the third time, (10) Jesus is stripped of His garments, (11) Crucifixion: Jesus is nailed to the cross, (12) Jesus dies on the cross, (13) Jesus’ body is removed from the cross and (14) Jesus is laid in the tomb and covered in incense.

We are blessed to have the opportunity to instill such impactful experiences, traditions, values and lessons in our students at Frassati Catholic Academy. Happy Holy Week!

Congratulations to our Spelling Bee competitors from last week! We are so proud of you!

5th grader Ryan Z., 6th grader Elizabeth Q. and 7th grader Jaoquin C. qualified for the State Spelling Bee on April 6th in Chatham, IL.

We had a great day of Showcasing our Robotics Teams Saturday in Grayslake!

Special congratulations goes out to two of our teams who scored awards:

1. The team PMI (Pathetic Management, Inc) made up of Vicki D, Josh P, Mariano R, Julio S, Abby T (& Mikey M who couldn't make the showcase) were awarded the "Judges Award" which is given to a team selected by the Judges who stood out to them. This is a very important award because it shows how well the team presented itself at the Showcase and what effort they put in even if they didn't score the most points during the table runs. Great job to this group of 7th & 8th graders!

2. Impressively. the team r011y pu113ys (Rolly Pulleys) made up Stephanie A, Daniel D, Alex F, Corrigan H, Kyle S & Lauren Z took home one of the top 2 awards of the Showcase: The Grand Champion! This award is given out to the team that performed best across all the categories (3 table runs, the tech judging and the teamwork challenge). We are all very proud of these 6th & 7th graders!

Huge thank you to Roger Huner, Kirk Steckenrider, Fred Strobl and Gina Strelecki, as well as the middle school teachers and Ms. Kleckner.

Father O'Reilly celebrated 60 years this past week and our supporting parish Santa Maria del Popolo threw him an amazing birthday bash! #trulyblessed #thankyouforyourservice #happybirthday
