WE ARE QUITE PLEASED and
very fortunate to have among us for
about two months, two students
from Costa Rica. They are Freder-
ico and Klaus Kuhn who are pres-
ently residing with their aunt and
uncle at Newberry Estates.
Klaus in the third grade with Mrs.
Umphred and Frederico is in the
fifth grade with Mrs. Hiller’s class.
They seem to be enjoying their stay
very much. Although they do attend
a bi-lingual school in Costa Rica,
they are still not familiar with some
American expressions.
But, we must admit, they are
holding their own. Klaus is enjoying
working with the Apple Ile com-
puter and Frederico is enjoying
soccer. Mrs. Umphred’s class is
very happy with the Spanish lessons
they receive by Klaus. They vowed
to learn five expressions a week and
APRIL YATSKO
they are enjoying the process very
much. :

MRS. GRAY’S CLASS enjoys
Klaus once a week and this week he
enjoyed making tissue paper snow-
men with 3-204. We are happy to
have them on board. The Seventh
grade students have entered the
1986 Father Ron Kneram Youth
Essay Contest. This year’s theme is
“Christ Cares For Me, Even Though
It Appears No One Else Does.” We
certainly hope at least one winner.

LAST WEEK, Jan. 21 and 23rd,
the children from grades five to
Heart Association’s “Jump Rope for
Heart” contest whereby students
gather pledges from sponsors. We
hope to raise a substantial sum for
the American Heart Association.

MRS: SESSON’S FOURTH
GRADE CLASS is entering the
National School Traffic Safety Pro-
gram Contest. The theme of the
posters is either, ‘Look Always
Before Crossing,” and ‘Play Away
From Traffic,” By the looks of
some of these posters, it will be
very difficult to judge them.

THE EIGHTH GRADE Social
Studies Class is gearing up for their
Summit Meeting, somewhat like the
one Pres. Reagan and Mr. Gor-
bachev held in Geneva, recently.
The difficulty is trying to “interpret
