Computer Class
Mrs. Michele Burke joined our staff in 2018 bringing with her years of experience in Kindergarten thru 8th grade computer education. Her expertise in Microsoft Office, Paint, and a multitude of additional programs has breathed life into our technology curriculum here at Saint Ambrose. She integrates lessons taught in the classroom supplementing the instruction of the homeroom/subject area teacher. Coding classes, typing skills, and expanding the use of Microsoft skills for all students are just a sampling of computer lessons at Saint Ambrose. In 2023 our lab received an update along with a facelift as we prepare our students for both PCs and laptops.
Library Class
Library isn't what it used to be when YOU went to school. Not only do the students have a chance to check out a book, read a fun story, then take an AR test about it like we (being us adults) did in the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s, but now the students also get to learn about digital media. In "Library" class, our students learn to discern proper resources for research, conduct projects for their classrooms, and also learn about creating the morning news which is produced in our library and broadcast throughout the school every morning!
Music Class
|
Bringing her love of drama, singing and musical theater, Mrs. Dickenson expanded her role in 2023 assuming the music classes for grads Pre3-8th grades. She brought us another beautiful PreK3-2nd grade Christmas Program and a 3rd-8th grade Christmas Pageant, bringing to life the Christmas story. For the weekly Masses, Mrs. Dickenson coordinates the student-led choir and they all lead our school in song.

PE Class
From organized sports to fun games, PE is always a period our students can expend their energy. PK3-8th grades all spend time with the beloved Coach where they learn the rules of their favorite sports, sportsmanship, and how to play as a team. PE is held twice a week and if a class misses a day due to an early release or a day off, the homeroom teachers are sure to hear them complain! Field Day is second to none and our sports teams are gaining notoriety throughout their league for their talent, large cheering section, and Christ-like behavior.
Spanish Class
|
|
All students, from Pre-K 3 through 8th grade, are educated in the foreign language of Spanish. Students receive instruction two times per week. Our instructor, Mrs. Liliana Lowe, leads the younger students through songs, games, and direct instruction. Students in grades 3rd grade thru 8th grade receive interactive instruction. Middle school students have a textbook curriculum in order to facilitate their eventual succession into high school Spanish. Our Spanish program is comprehensive and progressive as we prepare our students for their acquisition of this vital second language. Additionally our Spanish teacher hosts our annual International Day, a family favorite event!
