OUR STUDENTS "CRUSHED IT" AND GOT A SURPRISE ZOOM MEETING WITH SHEVIN MCCULLOUGHShevin McCullough, the co-founder, executive writer, and actor of Studio 3:16 had a surprise Zoom meeting with our students in Grades 2-8 yesterday. Studio 3:16 is a faith-based educational curriculum for children aged 7-12, designed to make Gospel readings engaging and entertaining, with the purpose of bringing students into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
St. Raymond has been using the Studio 3:16 program since last September. Out of more than 400 Catholic elementary schools nationwide, we have used the Studio 3:16 program the most. When Shevin saw that St. Raymond's students were "crushing it," he arranged for a surprise Zoom meeting. Shevin gave us a tour of the Studio 3:16 offices, answered questions, talked about prayer and prayed with our students.To learn more about Studio 3:16, go to https://www.studio316.com.

celebrating the remaining 80 days of school with a look back at the 80's
Every year, we celebrate the 100th day of school. In the past several years, our youngest students have dressed as 100-year-olds to mark the day. This year, thanks to a suggestion by Joey Ann Delgado, one of our First Grade teachers, we celebrated that only 80 days of school remain. And what better way to do that than with a throwback to the 80's! Students and staff dressed in 1980's style and danced like it was 1980. Be brave and beware. You're going to see a lot of big hair and glow in the dark clothing. Brace yourselves! And you thought Miami Vice was gone forever. Think again. :)

S
St. Raymond Elementary School sponsored our second annual dress down for a cause in honor of Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day oN Friday, January 24. Luis Velazquez Jr., a 3rd Grade student at St. Raymond, was born with Moebius Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that affects the cranial nerves that control facial muscles. Children with Moebius Syndrome cannot smile or frown.
“As an expression of our solidarity,” said our principal Eugene Scanlon, “the St. Raymond Elementary School family is celebrating and supporting Luis Velazquez Jr. and all those with Moebius Syndrome by wearing something purple and raising funds for the Moebius Foundation on Friday. “ Our school was a sea of purple last Friday. We raised $1,212 for the Moebius Foundation.

CIVICS LESSONS FOR FUTURE VOTERS OF AMERICA
Yesterday, on Election Day, civics lessons related to voting, were featured in some of our classes.
In Kindgarten East, teacher Janice Villamarin explained Election Day and what is involved in the the election process. Mrs. Villamarin gave her students a ballot for voting and set up a ballot box. Kindergarten East had a choice between two "candidates" -- popcorn and potato chips. Students circled their preference on the ballot and deposited them in the ballot box. When voting was completed, they counted the ballots together. Popcorn was the winner! It received 10 votes vs. 8 votes for chips.
Above, Kindergarten East students made their selection, marked their ballot and put them in the ballot box. (Photos by Janice Villamarin.)
Our Art teacher Mrs. Adderley, worked with our students to create badges that said "Future Voter."
