Dear St. Pius X Families,

As we enter into the days of Holy Tridium, it is the wish of all the faculty and staff of St. Pius X School that each and every one of you embrace this season with open hearts and take some time this week to reflect on how important our faith is in today's world.  May the peace and comfort of the Easter season be with us all.

My third grade class learned about Jonas Salk in Social Studies.  Jonas Salk was born in New York City on October 28, 1914.  He died on June 23, 1995.  He was the first member of his family to go to college.

In the 1950's, people got sick with polio mostly in the summertime.  When Jonas was attending New York University he found an opportunity to try and make a vaccine for polio. While he was doing this, World War II started so it became difficult. He thought he found the cure  once but it was not right. Jonas Salk never gave up. He still tried to find the vaccine for polio. He tried and tried. Then finally he got it! They used the medicine on people and they never got polio.
In Social Studies we also learned about monuments. A monument is something created to honor someone special. If I were to make a monument about Jonas Salk I would create a sculpture. The reason I chose Jonas Salk is because my grandpa has polio.  Jonas Salk made a vaccine for polio so we do not have to worry about getting it.

Mrs. Carol Alexander, our preschool teacher and all of the preschool students had an  Easter egg hunt this past Wednesday.  Not only did they have fun collecting the brightly colored eggs, they learned about the purpose of  gather the eggs.  If you see a preschool student, ask them why we collect eggs at Easter!
