Science Club Update
I am working on a day for Science Club in February (waiting to hear back from Mr. LaLiberty.
February meeting will be on Forensics. We will meet March 18th for heart and eyeball
dissection. Bill Peterson will do the heart dissection and Dr. Stibel will do the eyeball dissection.
Bill Peterson has donated so much of his time to our wonderful school. He has
donated many hours to our Science Club meetings. He is in needed of judges for
the Regional Science Fair. If anyone has the time to help him out, it would be
appreciated. Here is the letter he sent.
Greetings,
We are seeking judges for the Regional Science and Engineering Fair to be on Wednesday,
March 11, 2015. The judges' orientation will be in the main hall at the College of Great Falls
MSU beginning at 8:00a.m.
Morning snacks and lunch will be provided. Please let us know as soon as possible by replying
to this email or phoning 899-3309. If you are unable to judge, we would really appreciate your
help in procuring a substitute. Also, if you have any ideas for judges, we would greatly
appreciate that information too. It is difficult for some professionals to attend this year because
the event is scheduled on a weekday. If you have any questions, please email or call. We look
forward to seeing you. Thank you in advance for helping to make the day a success for our
future scientists and engineers!
Sincerely,
Bill Peterson

Did you know...
The actual cost to educate a student at
Holy Spirit is $5500?
Does your family pay that much tuition?
Some of our families actually pay that actual
cost and we thank them very much!
The school also has ways to bridge the gap
between tuition and actual educational cost:
1) DARE to DREAM...These earnings fund the
yearly expenses of the school.
2) GALA income also funds the yearly expenses.
3) SpiritWalk…these earnings help our teachers
and a specific need, which changes year to year.
Remember, someone helped you become the
AMAZING SOUL God created you to be.
You can be that someone for our
students at HSCS!
Please prayerfully consider a donation to
DARE- to- DREAM!
