Kate Keller, SJF Librarian

One of our school themes is “Fly Like a Falcon”. Falcons SOAR above, capturing an aerial view of what is going on below. We are encouraging our school community to “SOAR above” things that might bring us down, not allowing us to be our best selves and to be mindful of those around us who might need our help and support. We are on a school-wide crusade to “Fly Like a Falcon”, lifting one another up, celebrating the positive interactions, and kind behavior that our students and staff demonstrate each and every day. This week we recognize Mrs. Keller. For Mrs. Keller, going above and beyond for the students at St. John Fisher is not just a random act; it's a way of life. This week marked our Scholastic Book Fair, a significant undertaking that truly benefits our school. The excitement among the kids fosters a positive culture within the building, and depending on the fair's financial success, we also gain free books for our library! While Mrs. Keller has helpers throughout the week, she takes on the majority of the workload herself. She loves this time of year and eagerly anticipates the book fair and the excitement it brings. A running joke at the school is that Mrs. Keller is faster than Amazon; she knows each student's reading preferences and is always searching for their next great read! Thank you, Mrs. Keller, for sharing your passion for learning and reading with us. We appreciate your genuine interest in our Falcons and for ensuring they always have engaging books on topics they love at their fingertips. Keep flying like a Falcon; you're making a difference.

One of our school themes is “Fly Like a Falcon”. Falcons SOAR above, capturing an aerial view of what is going on below. We are encouraging our school community to “SOAR above” things that might bring us down, not allowing us to be our best selves and to be mindful of those around us who might need our help and support. We are on a school-wide crusade to “Fly Like a Falcon”, lifting one another up, celebrating the positive interactions, and kind behavior that our students and staff demonstrate each and every day. This week we recognize 3rd graders Nora Larmon & Katherine Burg. Last week, we noticed that students were writing and drawing on the girls' bathroom stalls in the 3rd and 4th grade hallway. We engaged in a meaningful conversation with the 3rd and 4th graders about the importance of caring for our school, which serves as their second home, and treating it with respect. We talked about the significance of leaving things better than we found them, making wise choices, and using paper for writing! Nora and Katherine truly embraced our message and took action! They chose to forfeit their recess the next day to clean the stall doors. Nora and Katherine, we appreciate your leadership and your commitment to making our school the best it can be! You are making a positive impact, and we are incredibly proud of you and thankful to have you as Falcons! Keep “Flying Like Falcons,” Nora and Katherine!
