Week of 10/12


Dear Parents,

 I hope you all enjoyed a nice weekend! We had a great time at our field trip on Friday and I hope your kids told you all about it. Check out some pictures at the bottom of the blog. Here are your reminders for the week:

-Winter uniforms start today.

- Picture Day is on Thursday. Picture forms were sent home last week. Feel free to send in the completed forms before Thursday if you would like to buy pictures.

- The first part of the Saint Project is due on Thursday. Please have your child practice what they wrote because they will be presenting it to the class and it will be a grade.

- October is the month of the rosary and we will be learning how to pray a decade. If you haven't already done so, please send a rosary (in a labeled case or bag) in by the end of this week.

- Friday will be the JDRF Walk. Students are to wear their gym uniforms and are asked to donate $1.00 for the cause.

- We will have a Religion test on Thursday and a Reading test on Friday.

- Please work on tying shoelaces at home. It would be a great if everyone learned how to do this by Christmas!

Thanks for your help!

Dear Parent/s,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. We have a busy, busy, week! Here are your reminders:

- Our monthly Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday at 9:00. Please join us!

- Information about the "Saint Project" will be sent home today. Please look it over, mark down the dates and let me know if you have any questions.

- Tests folders will also be sent home today. Please sign and return them tomorrow.

- We will have a math test this Thursday on ordering numbers and comparing numbers. 

- Our field trip to Highland Orchards is Friday. Students are to wear their gym uniforms and need to pack a "brown bag" lunch. There were quite a few bees last year, so you may want to put a "Bounce" dryer sheet in your child's pocket to help keep them away.

- Please make sure you have sent back the field trip permission form and sent in your payment. The OnLine Pay is now up on the school website.
