Camp ROCK(Reaching Others for Christ’s Kingdom) is an overnight summer camp organized by John Lamperis, who is the Director of Religious Education at Holy Spirit.  This camp experience is for middle school students currently in grades 6 through 8.  The camp dates are June 12 – 15, and August 9 – 12, and will be held at the Dickson Valley Camp and Retreat Center in Newark, IL.  Not only will campers enjoy all of the typical camp activities, such as swimming, canoeing, archery, campfires, hiking, sports, music, skits and crafts; campers will have wonderful opportunities of prayer and worship that will help them to grow closer to Jesus and their Catholic faith.  The Camp Rock informational flyer can be found at the ACSA website, or by going to the following link:  http://www.camprock.me/flier.pdf.  Contact John at (630) 846-0688, or john@camprock.me with any questions.

Have you seen the colorful 2014 G.L.O.W. 5k signs along the Naperville streets lately?  Have you wondered how you could be part of this fun run? We want YOU to join our Shining Saints ASCA team for the 2014 G.L.O.W. 5K Run/Walk for Reading!    We are looking for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to join us for a fun-filled evening of exercise and community sprit! (We hear that there are many walkers at this event.) All proceeds from this event go to the Jeanine Nicarico Memorial Fund for Literacy, which enhances literacy programs throughout District 203, District 204 and area private schools.  Over the past few years, ASCA has received approximately $7,000 in grants from this Fund!   We recently found out that we have been awarded a grant of $2,000 for the 2014-2015 school year for professional development and to purchase sets of fiction and non-fiction books to use in guided reading groups.  We would love to support this wonderful organization that has been so generous with ASCA! Please check out the Glow Registration flier, and consider registering with your family and friends.  (You know that Mrs. Abrams, as well as Track and Field have helped your children to be ready to run!) Also, FYI, Anderson’s Bookshop will award an author visit to the school with the highest percentage participation.  Come on Saints!  A prize will be given for Best “GLOWING” Individual. Go to www.naperglow5k.com for more information.

The summer reading lists (Gr. K-5 Summer Reading List and JH Summer Reading List) can be found at the school website.   Please note that there have been some changes in the junior high academy lists.  Each class has a reading expectation for the summer. Please have your child read regularly ….as opposed to waiting till the weekend before school starts!  And don’t limit yourself to the requirements.
