Queen of Martyrs Catholic School

Four year old Preschool was in our red, white & blue today honoring our veterans in support of Veteran's Day this Thursday! Thank you for keeping us safe!

Members of Queen of Martyrs Student Council and the NJHS collected Halloween candy to send to our soldiers overseas. Together they sorted and packed 14 boxes worth of candy. Thank you to all the school, parish, and community members who donated. We are so proud of our Wildcats!!

Make sure to join us TUESDAY - NOV 9 at 8:30a for a very special Veteran's Day mass.

Our 7th & 8th Grade Wildcats sure got into the 'spirit' this year!

It is my unhappy task to inform you that due to the inclement weather today, we are forced to cancel our "Trunk or Treat" event scheduled for this evening. Praying that the weekend brings more favorable weather for the kids so they can enjoy the Halloween fun to which that have been so looking forward. Doc

4th grade Skeleton Masks were made for our Human Body, Skeleton System Science Unit. Just in time for Halloween! 4th grade pictures of students working together in class. 5th grade pictures of students working together in class.

What a wonderful day for a Nature Walk! QM 8th graders escorted our brand new Kindergarten Wildcats on a walk through nature right around school. Fall is awesome!

Mr. Mike Madera from St. Lawrence HS visited QM to talk with our 7th and 8th grade Wildcats. High School is coming!

Don't forget, THIS WEDNESDAY 10/20 is Picture ReTake Day!!!

What a pep rally! How about our cheerleaders! Talk about getting some air! So proud of all of our high flying Wildcats!

Congratulations to QM's 8th grade girls basketball team. They played hard and took 2nd place in the consolidation round in this weekends 35th annual Great McAuley shootout. #RestoreTheRoar #MartyrsPride

Today we celebrated the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The Primary Grade students brought their favorite stuffed animals to school to be blessed by Father Marty. The children learned about this gentle saint and his love for all creation, especially animals! Father Marty visited our classrooms, even the gym where our preschool children were in class asking the students the type of stuffed animal they brought and what their names were. He then blessed them with Holy Water and told them Jesus would watch over them and keep them safe. The children loved bringing their stuffed animals to class for the day!

McDONALD'S FOR DINNER ON THURSDAY - OCT 7!!! It's pretty easy - all you have to do is to buy dinner at the McDonalds at 10320 S Kedzie Avenue between 4p - 8p and say "I'm with Queen of Martyrs" (show them this photo on your phone) and 20% of the profits from your order will go to Queen of Martyrs! McDonalds is donating a case of pies for us so all pie purchases and tips will go to Queen of Martyrs as well! Please note that both must be cash only. Two things to remember - 1) this is a Drive Thru only event and 2) pie purchases and tips can be cash only. Bah-da-bah-bah-bah-bahhhhhh

The first QM NJHS meeting of the year is in the books! NJHS will be collecting next week for Animal Welfare League in Chicago Ridge for their 1st service project.

They're different kinds of Chicago bears! Our3 year old QM preschool students in Mrs. Bujanski’s class celebrated Bb is for bear day! The students have been talking all about the letter Bb - the sound and words that begin with the letter. To celebrate the day, the children brought in their favorite bear, made a bear hat and craft, and learned the song going on a bear hunt! We also read two stories about bears. Restore the roar indeed!

Our first and second grade Wildcats ending first P.E. where all games emphasized water safety

The 3 year old QM preschoolers have been talking all about apples! We learned the parts of an apple and tasted apples. We made a class graph to see which apple is liked the most and red was the class favorite! Is red your favorite too?

QM's third graders are partner reading a story on "Protecting Our National Parks." Students are exploring their understanding of the weekly essential question in Reading, How do landmarks help us understand our country's history?

Mrs Gagner’s First Grade class worked so hard last week and for all of their hard work...they were rewarded with a fun stem activity! They watched the video Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom which is a story of how all the letters of the Alphabet climbed a coconut tree. The class was given an empty paper towel roll, six of the wide craft sticks and several magnetic letters and then had to create their own Chicka, Chicka Boom, Boom tree. They worked with a partner and figured out how to get as many letters on the tree as possible. Everyone had fun and learned a lot!
