J.E. Cosgriff 2015 Newsletter - J.E. Cosgriff Memorial Catholic School
Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service The National Catholic Education Association theme—Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service will continue for the 2015-16 school year. As we look to the upcoming school year, we are reminded of the blessings and responsibility of our Catholic School mission. The 2014-15 school year proved to be one of great accomplishments and learning for the entire J.E. Cosgriff School community in the areas of Faith, Knowledge and Service. Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist — A Special Year for J.E. Cosgriff Second Grade To build a stronger faith-filled connection between home and school was the primary goal for implementing a more meaningful, hands-on curriculum with our second grade class, who received the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in April 2015. Mrs. Debbie Hogan, second grade teacher, learned of the outstanding hands-on family sacramental preparation program from Rhea Hristou, a twenty-year veteran second grade teacher at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School. Mrs. Hristou worked for several years on a select NCEA team to improve the religion core standards taught in our Catholic Schools. Cosgriff second grade students read an interactive workbook and answered questions about each of the sacraments with a parent, over the course of the school year. A special retreat took place in St. Ambrose church for each sacrament, and several parents were invited to assist in learning center activities as part of the retreat. For example, during the reconciliation retreat, students discussed the Ten Commandments and listed the five steps of going to confession. Fr. Andrzej hosted a learning center to teach and discuss the importance of going to confession. Students also toured the open and closed confessionals. Fr. Andrzej and second graders During the Holy Eucharist retreat, students worked to make a personal Eucharistic banner. They learned about the different types of bread eaten around the world and watched a play of the Last Supper performed by older students. The highlight for second graders was to meet with Fr. Andrzej for a personal tour of the altar area, chapel, and room by the altar where the priests, deacons and altar servers change into their robes and vestments for mass. Students also tasted the unconsecrated host before leaving Fr. Andrzej’s group. Sacramental preparation was a very meaningful and enriching experience for our second grade students and their family members. We thank Fr. Andrzej for his enthusiastic participation and instruction, Mrs. Debbie Hogan, our devoted second grade teacher for her creative and meaningful curriculum, and the many parents who committed both time and talents to this important sacramental learning experience. “Somehow, children find a way of finding peace amid the noise of this world. They can block out all the things that tend to irritate the adults and find in their hearts the place meant for hearing, for listening, for loving. Many times the young are our greatest teachers.” - Pope Francis Catholic Schools Schools :::: Communities Communities of of Faith, Faith, Knowledge Knowledge & & Service Service Catholic AmeriCorps Makes STAR Reading Possible at Cosgriff Current research indicates that a structured reading tutorial program provides achievement gains for students who would benefit from extra reading practice and instruction beyond what they receive in their regular classroom. With this understanding, the Utah Office of Education (USOE) has implemented the STAR reading program. Student Tutoring Achievement for Reading (STAR) is designed as reading practice, not intervention, between adult volunteers or paraprofessionals, and a student. STAR lessons enhance classroom instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, reading comprehension, and vocabulary. Students benefit from increased reading time, targeted practice and a rewarding reading experience. Heather Burns, one of two AmeriCorps volunteers at Cosgriff School, leads the effort by recruiting and scheduling parents, grandparents and other St. Ambrose members to volunteer in the STAR reading program. Heather conducts an in-service for all new volunteers before they meet and begin reading with students. Volunteers are asked to work with a Notable J.E. Cosgriff Alumni at Judge Memorial Catholic High School On May 30, 2015, many J.E. Cosgriff alumni, now graduating seniors at Judge Memorial Catholic High School Commencement Ceremony received the following recognition and honors: • Christ the King Award: Caroline E. Holyoak • Salutatorian: Connor J. Morgan • National Merit Finalist: Ian T. Gorrell-Brown STAR Reading Volunteer Tutors student two times per week for thirty minutes. Some volunteers stay a full hour to read with two students back to back. STAR tutoring is a win-win program. Students in the school ranging from first through fourth grade receive extra reading practice and quickly form a special friendship with their STAR tutor. Tutors feel needed and also enjoy a new found friendship with a Cosgriff student. Heather Burns works as an assistant in our toddler program during the morning and then assumes the AmeriCorps responsibilities in the afternoon. Heather is a tremendous asset to Cosgriff in many different capacities and we are very fortunate to have her on the Cosgriff team. The AmeriCorps volunteer program has enabled Cosgriff to extend additional support and strengthen reading skills for many students over the past nine years. J.E. Cosgriff School Learning Resource Center The J.E. Cosgriff Learning Resource Center (LRC) team provides intervention for students who are struggling in academic areas. The team is certified in the Early Steps, Next Steps, Higher Steps, and Wilson reading programs. The LRC team gives one-on-one and small group support, and also in-class support services. The team works closely with classroom teachers to provide appropriate assistance to help each student reach his or her fullest potential. • Bishop’s Award for Outstanding Scholar–Participant in Activities: Connor J. Morgan, Lindsay E. Ryan • Bishop’s Award for Outstanding Scholar–Participant in Athletics: Caroline E. Holyoak, Michael L. Kearns • Jeanette Sawaya Award for Outstanding Achievement in Arts, Academics, and Athletics: Paul S. Oliver • J.E. Cosgriff Alumni who graduated with Gold Honor Cords (3.5 or above GPA): Michael G.

Cosgriff “Gold” Grandparent Club A tentative date has been set for the first 2015-16 Gold Club Brunch & Meeting for September 13th, 2015 • Time & Location TBD Please check cosgriff.org, under the Gold Club link, for location/time confirmation or email Diane Henry, henrydd@comcast.net. J.E. C O S G R IF F M EMOR IA L C AT HOL IC S C HO OL ANN UAL NEWSL ET T E R & RE PORT | 2 0 1 4- 15 SCHO OL YE AR Mardi Gras 2015 Fundraiser Mardi Gras 2015 was an event to remember. Guests enjoyed a sit down three course dinner, silent and live auction, and then danced the night away. For the first time the event was moved to the Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown hotel and 500 guests were in attendance. Moving Mardi Gras allowed Cosgriff to provide new opportunities and ways for people to donate and get involved. Whether it was becoming an event sponsor, purchasing a corporate table, deciding which party boards to attend, or bidding on a live auction vacation, there was something for everyone. The move downtown was exciting, but traditions that have made Mardi Gras a success over the decades were still kept and enjoyed. One of the most exciting Mardi Gras traditions is the schoolwide competition to sell opportunity tickets. The first grade worked very hard to sell the most opportunity tickets, and won a lunch at Crown Burger Restaurant with Mrs. Hunt. Overall, J.E. Cosgriff students sold over 12,000 tickets! A Community of Service First Grade at the Winners’ Lunch at Crown Burger Mardi Gras 2015 raised over $200,000 with the help of many generous friends, families, and companies in our community. We are very grateful for everyone’s support and look forward to Mardi Gras 2016! The student leadership council researched and carefully selected monthly community service projects for Cosgriff families to support during the 2014-15 school year. Students engaged in many activities to raise money and provide essential survival items for infants to adults in need both locally and globally. The 2014-15 year of service began when the seventh and eighth grade students teamed up to challenge the Cosgriff faculty in a game of softball. All proceeds from the game benefitted finding a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Learning the importance of helping others in need and giving back to one’s community are critical components of the school-wide curriculum and daily life at J.E. Cosgriff School. Students are encouraged to place community service as a priority for the rest of their lives. We remember the words of Mother Teresa, “We should learn how to give. But we should not regard giving as an obligation, but a desire.” J.E. Cosgriff Faculty Softball Team J.E. Cosgriff proudly supported the following charitable organizations during the 2014-15 school year. St. Patrick’s Parish Catholic Schools :: Communities of Faith, Knowledge & Service Mock Trial This year Cosgriff had eleven middle school students compete on the Mock Trial team. The program is a competition where middle school and high school teams argue both sides of a fictitious case in front of actual judges and attorneys throughout the course of the Mock Trial season. The Cosgriff team spent many hours preparing for their competitions, and it really paid off. This year, with the help of Mock Trial coach Joel Kittrell, the team advanced to the semifinals, which means they were one of the top four middle school Mock Trial teams in the state. Track Club In its fourth season, the Track Club continued to grow. This year the program saw its highest participation since it began, as many students in grades K–8 took advantage of the opportunity to be introduced to all aspects of track and field. Students were able to try various events—such as sprints, hurdles, distance, and field events like long jump and javelin. Practices were twice a week, and students were able to put their newly learned skills to the test in two track meets during the six-week session. 2015 Cosgriff Ski and Ride Program By Rob Sogard The students in the Cosgriff Ski & Ride Program enjoyed another fantastic winter at Snowbird, with great weather and good snow. Fifty-eight third through eighth grade Cosgriff students took advantage of Snowbird’s easy access and terrific terrain. This season gave riders six warm and sunny afternoons—the conditions were perfect. The instructors at Snowbird did a fantastic job keeping the students safe and entertained while improving their skiing and riding skills. Thank you to all of the parents and chaperones who helped keep things on time and running smoothly. Riders, instructors, and volunteers had a great time and hope to have even more Cosgriff students participate next year! Join Us For J.E.

Third Annual Tiger Trot The Third Annual Tiger Trot was held on Sunday, May 24th and 350 registered participants enjoyed a lovely morning at Sugarhouse Park. New this year was the addition of Saturday’s Waffle, who brought their trailer and served piping hot waffles for all registered runners. Participants also enjoyed coffee donated by Bad Ass Coffee. Christian Vasquez was the overall student athlete winner, followed by Ben Shuckra and Joey Craddock. The Tiger Trot is a wonderful community event, where school families and parishioners can enjoy exercise, good food and coffee and each other’s company. Congratulations to all Tiger Trot participants. Tiger Trot Winners Special thanks to our sponsors Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, Wasatch Pediatrics, and Salt Lake Active. Cosgriff is very grateful to the Boris Family, owners of Salt Lake Active, who donated their race timing clock, green cones and bullhorn to our Athletic Program. All of these items will help propel our Physical Education program and Track Club. Thank you Nick and Missy Boris for your continued support for J.E. Cosgriff School.

Her love of teaching is obvious: her infectious smile, positive energy, and “not waste a precious moment” attitude. Mrs. Brown is a devout Catholic and models the virtues of reverence for God and respect of self and others in all aspects of her teaching day. Spotlight on Mrs. Brown Mrs. Geniese Brown has just completed her fourth year teaching third grade at J.E. Cosgriff School. Mrs. Brown received her elementary teaching degree along with a middle school math endorsement at Indiana University, South Bend, in 2004. Mrs. Geniese Brown It is next to impossible to imagine, but Mrs. Brown has an eye on every student in her thirty-five plus classroom and uses that extra “teacher sense” to keep all students engaged and learning during the course of the day. She masterfully presents core content in math, reading, writing, science, and religion—keeping all types of learners in mind. She utilizes her expert math background to make mathematics challenging and logical for her students. Each week, Mrs. Brown takes advantage of parent volunteer support in the classroom. Volunteers assist students with ideas and editing of required writing compositions and longer reports. Mrs. Brown carefully listens and observes her students as they offer their heartfelt personal intentions during prayer. She learns about their proud moments and concerns for their families and friends due to illness, and hard times. Mrs. Camp, the third grade assistant notices that Mrs. Brown speaks individually to each of her students every day and recognizes their personal concerns along with academic progress. Mrs. Brown truly cares for each one of her third graders. Mrs. Brown is demanding and sets very high standards for student performance as evidenced by positive school and state test scores. She carefully prepares her lesson plans to teach the Progress in Reading and Mathematics Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) are a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early literacy skills from kindergarten through sixth grade. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills. Cosgriff students are assessed three times each year: September, January and May. The results of our May 2015 assessments indicate the percentages of students reading at or above their expected grade level in each grade level are as follows: Kindergarten 95% 4th grade 89% 1st grade 84% 5th grade 88% 2nd grade 85% 6th grade 95% 3rd grade 94% Schoolwide 89% The DDS-easyCBM Math assessment is a benchmark screening tool developed at the University of Oregon. The test is based on the Focal Points from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and have strong foundational overlap with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Mrs. Brown is the first to inquire about professional development opportunities. She is always excited to learn and implement relevant and new research based strategies and programs in her classroom. She is an active learner and knows that the acquisition of knowledge ultimately strengthens her classroom instruction. Although Mrs. Brown is very busy teaching and continuing her education as an educator, she rushes home each day to her family career. Geniese is the mother of four children and wife of Charles Brown, US Air Force Technical Sergeant. She travels each school day to Cosgriff from Hill Air Force Base, which is another strong example of her commitment to education and specifically J.E. Cosgriff School. Mrs. Brown is an inspiration who offers support and friendship to her colleagues at Cosgriff School. She is an excellent teacher and offers creative and new ideas for improving curriculum, the religion program, and school-wide student lead activities. J.E. Cosgriff is truly a better school in so many ways because Mrs. Geniese Brown is our third grade teacher. Third Graders with their Biography Projects Benchmark testing is the systematic process of screening all students on essential skills predictive of later mathematics performance. Benchmark testing is one part of a comprehensive assessment system that includes universal screening, progress monitoring, summative assessments and other formal and informal assessments all designed to get the critical information needed to make informed instructional decisions. It is a foundational link between assessment, instruction and goal setting. The results of the May 2015 testing indicate the percentages of students in each grade level that score at or above their expected grade level (40th-99th National Percentile) in math are as follows: Kindergarten 92% 4th grade 74% 1st grade 95% 5th grade 94% 2nd grade 85% 6th grade 84% 3rd grade 89% Schoolwide 88% Catholic Schools :: Communities of Faith, Knowledge & Service Annual J.E. Cosgriff Fine Arts Celebration By Tara Cullen, Visual Arts Teacher The Third Annual Fine Arts Celebration, held May 7, 2015, was well-attended by many enthusiastic parents, grandparents and friends of J.E. Cosgriff School. The evening began in St. Ambrose church, with performances by the third and fourth grade violinists, choir, band, liturgical dancers, and drama club. During the second half of the evening, many students stood by their artwork which graced the school walls. A smile of pride and ownership swept across students’ faces as their family members admired their their artistic masterpieces. Mr. Terence Stephens and Mr. Ryan Akerley were our honored jurors who selected winners within three grade divisions. Within kindergarten-second grade division: 1st place-Caroline Chachas; 2nd place-Sophia Burns; 3rd place-Adam Haddadin; Honorable Mention-Mia Powell. Within the third-fifth grade division: 1st place-Anthony Walz; 2nd place-Cece Stockham; 3rd place-Mitchell Bledsoe; Honorable Mention-Marysia McGill. Within the sixth-eighth grade division: 1st place-Sante Di Sera; 2nd place-Thomas Lien; 3rd place-Matthew Cotter; Honorable Mention-Cole Davis. This year, five local hospitals and clinics offered Cosgriff School the opportunity for student artwork to be displayed at their facilities. Representatives hand-selected artwork that will be on display at the following locations: Shriner’s Hospital, Primary Children’s Hospital, Utah Health and Human Rights, Evolutionary Health Care, Meliheh Clinic, Huntsman Cancer Institute, and LDS Hospital. Because of these considerate hospitals and clinics, Cosgriff student achievement can be shared with the community. Performing Arts :: Fiddler On The Roof JR In April 2015, J.E. Cosgriff ’s drama club entertained audiences with Fiddler On The Roof JR. This classic Broadway musical was a great opportunity for fifth through seventh grade students to sing, dance, and act on stage. Cosgriff Drama Club Director, Mrs. Suzanne Lacombe attributes much of the show’s success to all the parent and staff support with set designs, choreography, and backstage management. Mrs. Lacombe said, “It really was a collaborative effort, and with this being our third year of drama at Cosgriff, students are more comfortable performing on stage. It was a challenging play to take on, but our students were well prepared.” Fiddler On The Roof JR also gave students new perspectives on Jewish religious and cultural traditions. Gathering in the social hall every spring to see a Broadway production has become the new “tradition” at J.E. Cosgriff School.

Cosgriff, eighth grade students are expected to do their best work in an academically challenging curriculum, provide monthly community service at the Utah Food Bank, audition and perform in one of Shakespeare’s comedies, and provide leadership for their school families. This year was no exception, and the 2014-15 class of twenty-nine students was up to the task. Beginning in September, students participated in a team building day at Camp Kostopulos where they completed the high-ropes course and other activities designed to promote camaraderie and friendship. Later in the month, they attended the diocesan-wide eighth grade mass at the Cathedral of the Madeleine. The entire class gave a rousing rendition of the choral poem “Casey at the Bat” at the annual Grandparent Brunch in October, and, along with seventh grade students, enjoyed a delicious Pajama Breakfast before leaving for Christmas break in December. In February, after six weeks of rehearsals, students presented three performances of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” Students helped in all areas of the production including lights, sound, props, scene changes, make up, program design, and direction. On May 22, 2015, students received their diplomas during graduation exercises at St. Ambrose Church. Several academic, athletic, and honorary awards were bestowed upon members of the class. In Memory of P.J. Purcell November 4, 1999 – June 3, 2015 Slap shots, Jump shots, Chip shots, Sweet spots Our J.E. Cosgriff community will remember P. J. Purcell for the light and love he brought to our lives. There wasn’t a sport he could not master; there wasn’t a class he could not ace; there wasn’t a speech he could not deliver; but most of all, there wasn’t a heart he did not touch. Our love, support, and prayers pour out to the Purcell family. P.J., your spirit will always live in all those who knew and loved you. J.E.
