Congratulations! Mr. Baldwin
PSIA-See You At State
The Bulldogs Beat
Mr. Baldwin was one of fifteen
teachers selected to receive the
Wayne A. Reaud Excellence
Education Award in recognition
of his outstanding contributions
to the education system of
Southeast Texas.
The Beaumont Foundation
created the award to celebrate
and recognize superior contribu-
tions of teachers whose leader-
ship and dedication inspire a
spirit of learning in students of
all backgrounds and abilities.
Mr. Baldwin will be honored at
an awards gala on May 2, 2017,
and will receive a crystal obe-
lisk, a portrait, and $10,000.
To be nominated for the award
is an honor; however, to become
a recipient for the award takes
hard work and dedication.
Mr. Baldwin had to complete
and submit an application
along with other documenta-
tion, provide letters of recom-
mendation, and write an essay
to be selected for this award.
Mr. Baldwin had been nomi-
nated for the award twice be-
fore. Three times a charm.

Landforms and Habitat
PreK 3 created their very own Mardi Gras
float for the St. Anthony’s Mardi Gras Pa-
rade! It was an amazing float that wonder-
fully depicted Jesus’ resurrection !
It’s surely was one of the best floats in the
parade!
First grade learned about habitat and land-
forms. Landforms are a natural feature of
the earth's surface. A habitat is a natural
home or an environment.
They also had a fun president project. Stu-
dents researched about the president’s hob-
bies and other fun facts such as birth, term
of presidency, and their presidential accom-
plishments.
Madri Gras with PreK 3!
More About Jesus
PreK 4 had a lot to celebrate. They
exchanged Valentine cards on Valentine’s
Day; brought bears for the Bears on Parade,
and participated in the Madri Gras parade.
PreK4 were very busy learning their letters.
B, H, K, Q, V, and R.
They will continue to discuss Lent and learn
about Jesus’ public ministry.

Squishy Worms
3 Branches of Government
Third and fourth grade have been practicing
for the Passion Play. Both classes will por-
tray Jesus’s journey entering into Jerusalem
on a donkey on Palm Sunday to his death on
Good Friday. We then wait for his Resur-
rection on Easter Sunday.
The performance will be Wednesday, April
12, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the gym and Thurs-
day, April 13, 2017 at 9:00 a.m.
Mark your calendar and come see the Pas-
sion Play.
The 5th grade learned about the three
branches of government by creating a post-
er. Legislative branch makes the laws. Ex-
ecutive branch carries out the laws. Judicial
branch evaluates the laws.
Go by the 5th grade class and look at their
posters.
The seventh grade class’s main focus was
earthworms. They learned about the func-
tions of the earthworm and its organs. After
many competitive review games, the stu-
dents got the chance to dissect their own
earthworms!
“I had a lot of fun but it was a little gross,”
said Ashley Bellain.

has more powerful? Why?

Cub Scout of Pack 779
NJHS and Student Council attended a fun
and informative leadership convention host-
ed by District 17. The spring convention
was held at Ford Park Arena on Tuesday,
February 21, 2017. The theme was, “Dare
to Dream, Dare to Do”.
First, we participated in icebreakers. Then,
the officer schools showed their campaign
videos.
The guest speaker, Harriet Turk, talked to
us about being yourself and learning who
you are. Mrs. Turk engaged the students in
fun activities and teamwork exercises to help
make them better leaders for their schools.
Clare Coker, Kimberly Nguyen, Gabrielle
Augustine, Jasmine Martin, Ike Nwaobi,
Matthew Haynie, Bryce Tolin, and Adam
Hare presented in table talk.
It was an amazing opportunity to engage
with other students for different schools.
“It was an amazing experience for me to
grow in leadership skills,” said Ethan Gravis.
Finally, the time have come for four amaz-
ing Cubs to move on to becoming a Boy
Scout. These boys achieved Cub Scout’s
highest honor, Arrow of Light.
Congratulations to Kolbe Hughes, Louis
McIntire, Victor Sanchez, and Bryce Wiley!
Troop 232 held a crossing over ceremony at
St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica School cafe-
teria to celebrate the boys from Cubs to
Boys Scout.
It was an amazing night for all the boys.
Kolbe Hughes will join Troop 1 of Orange;
Louis, Victor, and Bryce will join Troop 232
of Nederland.

with friends.
Do you want to get out of class? Just come
to school on time!

On March 3, 2017 Lady Bulldogs softball
team had their game against Legacy. A few
of the girls was nervous because it was their
very first time playing. Karrygan Anderson
hit it all the way to the outfield and made a
home run. Due to an error on the other
team, Kalina Burleson was able to make a
complete run to score for the team. Thanks
to Kiara Lange’s pitching, the other team
did not out score our team. Even though we
lost 7-4, we felt like winners.
On March 4, 2017 Lady Bulldogs had their
game against All Saints at Kelly. Our pitch-
er Kiara Lange struck four people out; she

“The Lord opened the understanding of my
unbelieving heart, so that i should recall my
sins.”
-Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick was a Christian bishop in Ire-
land during the fifth century. He is the pa-
tron saint of Ireland, however, he was not
really Irish. He was British.
Saint of the Month
Let Us Pray
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a mulitude.
Christ shield me today
Against wounding
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ
behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ
above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit
down,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of
me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks
of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the Lord of creation.
