In addition, &nbsp;beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, students will use iPads to augment traditional classroom learning. &nbsp;These improvements, along with the new language lab, two computer labs, <a href="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/technology/">SMART Boards and Mimio technology</a>&nbsp;already present in the school, will continue to make learning fun and interactive for our students.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Thank you St. Viator Teachers</title><id>http://www.stviatorchicago.org/home/2012/5/8/thank-you-st-viator-teachers.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/home/2012/5/8/thank-you-st-viator-teachers.html"/><author><name>St. Viator</name></author><published>2012-05-08T22:59:54Z</published><updated>2012-05-08T22:59:54Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 250px;" src="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/storage/teacher.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1336519887519" alt="" /></span></span>Teacher appreciation week is May 7th through May 11th and we would like to thank the exceptional teachers that St. Viator is fortunate to have. &nbsp;We are blessed to have a dedicated group of educators and leaders who encourage, support and prepare students for the road ahead, and fill them with knowledge to help them be successful.<br />You are a cornerstone of our school!&nbsp;</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>St. Viator is Going Green!</title><id>http://www.stviatorchicago.org/home/2012/5/5/st-viator-is-going-green.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/home/2012/5/5/st-viator-is-going-green.html"/><author><name>St. Viator</name></author><published>2012-05-05T12:35:57Z</published><updated>2012-05-05T12:35:57Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 200px;" src="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/storage/Desktop.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1336221769035" alt="" /></span></span>This year St. Viator students have taken steps to strengthen our efforts to &ldquo;go green&rdquo; throughout the school and parish. Two of our Student Council officers presented a proposal to the Parish Council and School Board and obtained approval to expand the recycling efforts in the school and church buildings in order to reach their goal of making St. Viator more eco-friendly.&nbsp;In celebration of Earth Day, Student Council sponsored a GO GREEN DAY which included 7<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> grade students presenting lessons to younger classes that highlighted the importance of being eco-friendly. The kindergarteners planted seeds, the 5<sup>th</sup> grader made bird feeders and the first graders were treated to a puppet show that showed the students the harmful effects of pollution and litter on wildlife. Student Council will be selling reusable lunch bags next year so that we can cut down on our lunchtime waste.&nbsp;St. Viator has been invited to cultivate and maintain a garden plot in the neighborhood community garden. These are just the beginning steps of a movement that we know will enrich the lives of our students and benefit Mother Earth. We are proud of our students, faculty and staff who planted the seed of change in our school and parish, and have helped nurture it.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Art Zone Open House &amp; Academic Fair: Sunday, April 29th</title><id>http://www.stviatorchicago.org/home/2012/4/23/art-zone-open-house-academic-fair-sunday-april-29th.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/home/2012/4/23/art-zone-open-house-academic-fair-sunday-april-29th.html"/><author><name>St. Viator</name></author><published>2012-04-23T14:20:51Z</published><updated>2012-04-23T14:20:51Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 350px;" src="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/storage/Attachments_2012_04_23.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1335191359305" alt="" /></span></span>Please join us on Sunday, April 29th from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. as our school halls are transformed into an art gallery featuring the masterpieces created by St. Viator students throughout the year in our Art Zone program. &nbsp; All current and prospective families are encouraged to attend this unique event which highlights the strong academic program that St. Viator proudly offers. &nbsp; For more information please call the school office 773.545.2173.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Trivia Night on Saturday, April 21st!</title><id>http://www.stviatorchicago.org/home/2012/4/19/trivia-night-on-saturday-april-21st.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/home/2012/4/19/trivia-night-on-saturday-april-21st.html"/><author><name>St. Viator</name></author><published>2012-04-19T13:23:17Z</published><updated>2012-04-19T13:23:17Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 300px;" src="http://www.stviatorchicago.org/storage/Trivia Night.tiff.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1334842255606" alt="" /></span></span><strong>Saturday, April 21<sup>st&nbsp;</sup>at 7:00 p.m.<br />St. Viator Rec Center<br />3644 West Kedvale Avenue&nbsp;</strong></p>
