Dear SJEFamilies:
ThisFriday, February 26 we will celebrate the feast day of st. Paula Montal who is the
patron saint of family and education and the founder of the Sistersof the PiousSchools.
St. Paula's mission was the education of young women and their role in society. St.
Paula worked to establish a wide range of educational programs for girls that were
meant to counteract the existing legislative discrimination of girls in the nineteenth
century in Spain. Her teaching paradigm was to create a civilization of love and
service through the education of our youth producing future leaders of tomorrow.
Presently,her educational work continues with educating almost 30,000 boys and girlsin
20 nations on four continents.
St. John Eudes School embraces the missionof St. Paula Montal, teaching and inspiring
our students to be life-long learners who live their faith and grow in their personal, moral,
social, spiritual and intellectual development. Thisparadigm is very evident here at SJE;
we believe our School-Wide Learning Expectations (SLEs)help our boys ands girls
become life-long learners and leaders in their chosen fields, while embracing the
school's mission.
We hope you can join us this Friday, Feb. 26 at our Student Body Mass @ 10:30AM, led
by the 4thGrade, as we celebrate St. Paula Montal Day and her continued influence
here at st. John Eudes. The students will participate in field games sponsored by the
Sistersfollowing the liturgy.
In HisService,
~Ba~0~

is",
Our SJ.E. girls and boys will compete against girls and boys, at their grade level, from five other schools
in the West Valley. Each student is allowed to run in a sprint (short) race OR distance (long) race (one or
the other). Participants in the softball throw and the long jump (3 per event) will be selected during PE
classes at school. All participants will receive a school ribbon and some students may earn ribbons and
medals in the qualifying and final heats. Participants must wear tennis shoes, no track shoes (with or
without spikes). Shoes must be able to be worn on a gym floor. Only coaches, officials, and adult
volunteers are allowed on the field. Parents and spectators must remain in the bleachers. We ask all
parents to show their school spirit by wearing red and white. Students must wear their S.J.E. physical
education uniforms and be supervised by a parent.
This is a great opportunity to show our SJ.E. school spirit and earn prize money for our P.E. department.
All students are encouraged to participate. Junior High students must compete to be eligible for the
Knights of Columbus scholarship at graduation.
Please note that the Friday Track Training program is to help our students prepare for the meet. You may
participate in Track Training only if you are competing in the meet, but it is not mandatory. You must
sign up for the Track Meet using this form in addition to signing up for the Track Training Program.
If you would like your child to participate, please fill in the bottom portion of this paper and return it in
the school envelope as soon as possible.

Track Meet Training
All students must have a signed permission slip on file. This program is meant to help students prepare for the
track meet on April 18,2010.
Students may participate in the training only if you are competing in the meet.
Students may still participate in the track meet even if they choose not to do track training.
All children will be dismissed to the library patio from the lunch area at 12:50 p.m. Kindergarten students will
come to the patio area at the same time as the Kindergarten choir students after the 12:40 p.m. dismissal.
Practice will be cancelled due to rain or a wet field.
All children are asked to eat lunch at recess/snack time so there's plenty of time to digest your meal before running.
Students may eat a light snack and change into PE clothes before 1:10 p.m.
Track training will be held from 1: 10 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. for non-choir students. Students may stay until 3:00 p.m. if
they would like some extra practice.
Track training will be held from 2:15 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for choir kids who are interested.
escorted to the field from choir at 2: 15 p.m.
The dates for track practice are the following Fridays:
Choir kids will be
Feb. 26, Mar. S, Mar. 12, Mar. 26, and Apr. 15
(No practice on March 19)
We will be working on stretching and warm-up for the first 10 -15 min of practice. After stretching, we will break
into groups by age. The age groups will rotate through four training stations, including: Sprints, Distance, Long
Jump, and Softball throw.
All students are asked to wear PE clothes for practice and the meet. Proper running shoes are a good idea. A
water bottle with name is recommended for hot days. Remember, we only take small sips of water to prevent
stomach aches when running.
Some tips for helping kids practice at home
Stretching, push-ups and crunches are great exercises when watching TV.
Get out and run as a family. Pace yourselves and have fun.
Play catch with a soft ball and reinforce the proper throwing technique.
Jumping from a squatting position will help build strength for the long jump.
Sprint repeats with 20 sec. rest intervals really help to build speed.
We are looking for parent volunteers from each grade to be the team representative at the meet
the list provided.
Please sign up on
Volunteer service hours can be earned by helping with the practices on Fridays and at the Knights of Columbus
Meet on Sunday, April 18, 2010. If you would like to volunteer, please fill out and return the bottom portion to the
School Office as soon as possible.

Working Together for School Success
St John Eudes
B. Danowitz, Principal
Picture this
•• ~ ••••••••
Good readers form
mental pictures as they read. To
improve your child's comprehension,
read a book without letting him see it.
Then, ask him to guess what the illustrations look like. Examples: How are
the characters dressed? Is the setting
bright or gloomy?
Raisinggood sports
You can teach your youngster to be
a good sport by being one yourself.
When you attend a game, clap and
cheer for players who try hard, even if
they're on the other team. You'll help
your youngster learn to be gracious to
everyone in the game.
Linethem up
Sometimes kids get math problems
wrong simply because they haven't
lined up the numbers correctly. Try
this. Have your child work problems
on graph paper, using one box per
number. Once she gets used to this
system, she'll be able to transfer her
lining-up skills to regular paper.
Study smarts
Sarah, a fourth-grader, takes a history
test at the end of each month.
Evan, a first-grader, has a spelling
quiz every Friday. Studying is
a skill these youngsters will
need throughout their years of
school. Help your child study
effectively with these tips.
Start a habit. Encourage
your youngster to treat studying as a daily assignment, not
just something she does the
evening before a test. For
example, she might study 15 minutes every night for a spelling test on
Friday. After she finishes her regular
homework, she can spend a little time
reviewing her notes and handouts.
Tackle textbooks.
When your
child has a chapter to study, have her
"preview" it to increase her understanding. She should glance over headings,
graphics, and photos and go to the
glossary to look up boldfaced words.
Tip: If she finds a section hard to grasp,
she could read a picture book on the
Worth quoting
"Life doesn't require that we be the
best, only that we try our best."
H. Jackson Brown Jr.
topic. For a science unit on matter,
for instance, she could try What Is the
World Made Of? by Kathleen Weidner
Zoehfeld.
Mix it up. If your youngster reviews
information in several ways, she'll be
more likely to remember it. She might
use colored pencils to copy each spelling word or math fact onto a separate
index card. Then, she can shuffle the
cards and study them in a different
order each time. For extra reinforcement, suggest that she spell each word
or recite each fact aloud .•
Parent power
There are many ways you can support your child's learning and school. Here
are a few ideas:
• Spend a few minutes every evening looking over handouts your youngster brings
home. Fill out forms to return the next day.
Teacher: Name one important thing
we have today that we didn't have
10 years ago.
Brian: Me!
• Tell your child's teachers if you can help them out at school
or home.
• Make sure teachers know you appreciate their efforts.
From time to time, send a thank-you note or an e-mail.
• Contact your youngster's teacher immediately
see a problem. Working together will help your
child succeed.

Let's behave!
and have everyone gather
in the family room for a
gentle pillow fight.
Did you know that getting your young- .
sters to behave can be fun? 'Iry these ideas
to encourage better behavior-and cut
down on everyone's frustration.
Distract. Being playful can stop misbehavior, especially if it's caused by boredom. Example: You're stuck inside on a
rainy day, and your kids begin to get
cranky. Say,"Freeze! Splash time!"
Fill the bathtub, cover the floor with
rowels, and let them play in the water with
cups and boats. (Note: Never leave children
unsupervised near water) Or call out, "Pillow time,"
Celebrate. With your
children, pick a few behavior goals (get ready for bed
without complaining; say
"excuse me" when someone is talking). Then, get
out a small jar and some
marbles. Tell your youngsters they will earn a marble
each time you catch them working
toward a goal. When the jar is full,
celebrate with an extra story every night for a week.
~.. .--=-p-a-p-e=;~~~==~
Note: Children often act out to get your attention. 'Iry to
spend a few minutes a day playing a game or talking with each
child, and you're likely to see better behavior."
~bagcity
Let your child create her own 3-D
community. She'll practice map skills
and learn about urban planning as she
decides where to put the buildings in her
town.
Materials; paper lunch bags, newspapers, crayons or markers, black construc. tion paper, scissors, tape
Have your
youngster think
of buildings
to include,
such as a
bank, grocery store,
school, library, and houses. She can
make them by drawing doors, windows,
and signs on flat bags (on the side without the flap). For every bag she decorates, have her stuff a second one with
newspaper. Then, she should open each
decorated bag and slide it over a stuffed
bag so her "buildings" will stand up. For
the roads, she can cut black construction
paper into strips and tape them together.
Finally,have your child layout her
roads and arrange her buildings alongside
them to make her very own town."

Bullying: The bystander's role
Q: My child came home from school upset became
kids were picking on a classmate and wouldn't let her
play with them. What advice should I give my daughter?
A: Tellyour youngster that her classmate was being
bullied-and
that she has the power to help stop it!
There are several things she can do. She could start by standing up to the bully and saying somethin? like, ":rhat's. n.ot nic~."
Then, she might ask the child who is being bullied to Jom her tn a game or
school project.
Also, remind your youngster to report bullying to a teacher or other adult
when she sees it. Let her know this is not tattling, but a way to h~lp som~one.
who is being hurt. You can explain: "Askingan adult to help a chil~,who 15 berng
bullied is like asking the nurse to help a child with a scraped knee. "
Thinking games
Between school,
errands, and activities, my family spends lots of time on
the go. I decided to use some of it for
"thinking games."
I taught my kids a game my parents
used to play with me, called "Would
You Rather?" I offer two
options and ask
which they prefer
and why. For example,
I might say, "Would you
rather live near the beach
or the mountains?"
My son came up with
a game he named "Three
Favorites." Someone picks
a category (outfits, movies), and we all
tell our top three choices. My daughter
thought of "What Doesn't Belong?" We
take turns naming items and asking the
others to explain which is the odd one
out and why. The kids especially like this
game because there can be more than
one "right" answer. For example,
when I named "owl," "ostrich,"
and "eagle," my daughter said,
"Ostrich, because it can't fly."
My son's answer was, "Owl,
because it hunts at night. "
Now they want to play all the
time. I'm glad because we're having
fun-and they've gotten better at
thinking through their ideas.'
