Raider Ramblings
Thank you for joining us for a late edition of Mr. Turney’s Raider Ramblings!
Raider of the Week: Brendan O’Connell
7th Grade-Ms. Cagney’s Homeroom
Before break, I was asked to substitute for the seventh grade class and was amazed at the leadership skills Brendan exhibited. Brendan happily led his peers in prayers and was so eager to engage in the lesson for the day. He is always smiling and pleasant. Brendan always treats others with kindness. If more people approached life with the positive and kind attitude of Brendan the world would be so much better off.

Kids Helping Kids – Friday, May 5 – Out of Uniform Day
Most Holy Redeemer will participate in this year’s “Kids Helping Kids” campaign. Donations from this Special Olympics fundraiser help support athletes from Mount Greenwood Park and all over Chicago. Money raised will cover costs of programming for individuals who cannot afford the cost. Special Olympics is a solid organization that provides recreation and support for Individuals with Disabilities and their families. They also provide volunteer opportunities for our local students.
iReady Diagnostic Three
MHR students will begin taking their third and final iReady Diagnostic assessments Monday, May 1. The i-Ready Diagnostic test is designed to help educators by providing meaningful data about the instructional needs of their students and connecting them to i-Ready math and reading instruction that is proven to raise student achievement.
In the coming weeks, we ask all students to take their time and try their best during these important assessments, as the results impact many educational decisions made at MHR.
If you would like to learn more about iReady, feel free to reach out to me to set up a phone call or meeting. In addition, please click here for more information.
State of the School – Save the Date
We will gather as a community Tuesday, May 9 at 7 PM in Briody Hall for our annual “State of the School.” I invite all faculty, staff, and current and prospective families to attend to learn more about Most Holy Redeemer’s incredible successes over the last two years and see insight into what the future holds at MHR. Please note the above date has been adjusted from our original date due to a scheduling conflict.
