To build on its strong Language Arts core, St. Robert Bellarmine School will introduce the Latin and Greek Roots Challenge to students in K-8 in January 2012.

The program is designed to introduce students to the roots, which are the “building blocks” of the English language in a creative, collaborative and fun way. It instills the discipline to deconstruct words into their component roots, thereby building a stronger foundation for academic success.

More information is available on the “K-8 Curriculum” page of the school website (srb-chicago.org) and will also be available at the Jan. 29 Open House. Call (773) 725-5133.

Registration is open for the next session of Little Bruins after-school soccer, baseball and basketball programs for students in kindergarten to third grade.

Registration forms are available on the Extracurricular Activities and Athletics pages of the school website, srb-chicago.org, or from the school office, (773) 725-5133. Register by Jan. 20.
