SCA Music and Theology Teacher Making Music in the Classroom and the Church

Congratulations to Stephen R. Johnson, Music and Theology teacher, who recently had four hymns included in the Lutheran Service Book. As a member of the committee for the Songs of Deliverance Psalms conference, Stephen was a key member of the planning group who oversaw the program.  Held at Concordia University in Nebraska, the conference provided workshops for musicians of sacred music to come together and discuss the ways in which music can elevate theological understanding.

Write on your desk? New white board desks encourage students to do just that!

The new white board desks at St. Catharine Academy are encouraging real-time collaboration in the classroom. As one teacher explained working on the desks which double as white boards give students the opportunity to see each other’s work and share ideas. It also gives them a break from technology as they work in this new inviting environment on group projects.
