We celebrated Read Across America Week. Festivities included guest readers, themed dress up days, reading with buddies, and even green eggs and ham! The entire school celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday! To continue our celebration of reading, our students blasted off to Literacy Night and had so much fun with the space-themed activities and book fair!
Our students made Lenten Pledges during Faith to begin this reflective season of Lent. They are thinking of all different ways to fast from bad habits and behaviors, make prayer a bigger part of their daily routine, and find ways to give back. Seventh-grade Faith students used a green screen to create comic strips of themselves in modern-day versions of the Good Samaritan parable. Using Keynote, Sketches School, and photos, they were able to creatively retell the well-known parable in comic strip form using examples from their everyday lives here at St. Hubert School. Just like the Good Samaritan, don't forget to always BE KIND!
Our 8th graders took part in the National History Day Competition. Students had to develop an original thesis about the historical theme of frontiers, conduct research, and create either an exhibit or a documentary. Some may go on to the regionals during the first week of March. Thank you to all who attended our Preschool Stay & Plays and Early Childhood Information Night. We look forward to welcoming our next generation of Knights.

Thank you to our wonderful parents that make these visits possible. And last, but not least, our students celebrated Valentine’s Day!
Our preschoolers celebrated 100 days of school. Everyone brought in 100 items and we put 100 toppings on a pizza! We celebrated our students with an all-school assembly featuring the Mousetrap Machine Show.

We welcomed lots of new friends to our Early Childhood Winter Wonderland. We decorated cookies, played games, had an indoor snowball fight, and even had a visit from Elsa!

Thank you to all who attended and to our wonderful teachers, staff, students, and parent volunteers for helping to make these events so special. We celebrated our community with an all-school service project. Younger grades buddied with older grades to pack Blessing Bags to be distributed to the homeless by Journeys in Palatine. To celebrate our community, our student council handed out donuts at drop-off this morning.
This week our students made Chinese drums and learned about Lunar New Year. We look forward to kicking off our celebration of Catholic Schools Week with our Open House on Sunday, January 29. All are welcome! Come and see all we have to offer and discover the St. Hubert Difference! Help us congratulate our Honor Roll students.
We celebrated the last days of school leading up to winter break with a Preschool Pancake Party, an out of uniform pajama day, a Christmas raffle, and announced the winners of the Knights of Columbus “Keep Christ in Christmas” poster contest! Thank you to our wonderful teachers, staff and parents that make these traditions possible. And, of course, a huge thank you to our sponsors, who make so many of the good things that happen here at St. Hubert School possible!

To get in the holiday spirit, our Junior and Senior Bands performed at the Winter Band Concert. All of our students showcased their talents at the “Songs of the Season & The Greatest Story Ever Told” Christmas Music Program featuring performances from our preschool through eighth graders. Merry Christmas St. Hubert!
