In recognition of Catholic Schools Week, our school held a contest on the theme “Why I Love Attending Immaculate Conception School.” There were so many fine entries and ideas. All who participated should be commended. The students who were winners for each of the three levels are:
We wish to congratulate the winners and all who participated. Well Done! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love attending Immaculate Conception School because I like my teachers and my friends. My teacher, Mrs. Gallagher, makes learning fun. Sometimes she sings when she teaches us about God, to pray, and how to share with one another. We also make projects for our assignments. At Immaculate Conception School we also have art, music, and gym. I love attending this school because the principal and the teachers make us feel like a big happy family. - Sabrina I.– Grade 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Immaculate Conception is the best school in Astoria because it has great teachers and great students. The teachers are very nice and caring. The school is also big and clean. The Church is related to the school. I love my school because it is a great place. Whenever I ask my teachers for help, they always help me! I also love when we learn religion because it is a great subject, and not a lot of schools learn it. A lot of kids are so friendly and nice here. We have a lot of fun! I have a lot of friends, and I love them. I love the whole school because my teacher said everyone is our neighbor. Sometimes I learn a lot from my friends. Some of my friends are so generous to help me with my English! My school is the best in the world! - Amanda B. – Grade 3 I love attending Immaculate Conception School. It is like a second home to me. I have been attending Immaculate Conception since pre-K. I have had such wonderful experiences in my school. Immaculate Conception is a small school with a big heart. All of the students and teachers know everyone by name in the school. It is amazing to see students with different backgrounds come together here at Immaculate Conception. Everyone is here to learn to become better Christians. I have met such wonderful people at Immaculate Conception. I have made friends that I know I will have for life. The teachers at Immaculate Conception are terrific. They are always motivating students to do their best. The classes are challenging, but the teachers make the lessons exciting. The teachers will never turn a student away if they need extra help. They are always willing to listen and help students in any way they can. The teachers help us grow and mature. We learn Spanish using the computer. We have science lab where we perform hands-on activities. We have great art and music classes. The parents at Immaculate Conception really care about the students and the school. They volunteer their time to help the school. We have bake sales, dances, kid’s bingo, special lunches, and a carnival. We learn about faith in the classroom. We celebrate Mass as a whole school. We are taught to live our faith outside of the classroom. Immaculate Conception helps students become good Christians. In seventh grade, we are preparing for Confirmation. The students need to perform community service each week. This has been a wonderful experience for me. I have learned that it is important to help others, and that it makes me feel good about myself. Immaculate Conception is a great place to learn, make friends, and have fun. I love coming to school every day. I will be sad to graduate next year and leave Immaculate Conception. I have had the best times of my life here. I know the education I receive at Immaculate Conception will help me throughout my life.
