Week of 12/14

Dear Parent/s,

The kids did a fabulous job last Wednesday at the annual Christmas Concert! Thank you all for coming and for being a great audience. We have a relatively calm week. Here are some reminders:

- Bowling permission forms and money are due by Friday.

- The 5th-8th grade will be putting on the Tableau this Wednesday night at 7:00pm. It is truly a beautiful and moving performance that will remind you what Christmas is all about.

- Thursday we will have a Religion test on Chapter 5.

- Friday we will have a reading and spelling test.

- Friday will also be a Dress Down Day for an SKS alum who recently received a bone marrow transplant. Please send in $1.00.


- Looking ahead to next week: Monday will be our Polar Express Day! Thank you to all of you who are sending supplies or treats in. It is always a fun filled day! Tuesday is our bowling trip with our 8th grade buddies followed by a pizza lunch. We have made special Christmas cards for our buddies so I ask that you refrain from sending in any gifts for buddies. Thanks for your cooperation with this.

That is all for now!

- Report cards will also be sent home on Tuesday. You may keep the report card at home. Please sign and return the envelope. Remember, grades are not just a reflection of tests but include participation, preparedness and behavior. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

- Wednesday we will go to see the play "Annie" at Carroll. Please pack snack that can be thrown away.

- Wednesday night is our Christmas Concert! Please have your child in the Parish Center by 6:45pm dressed in their Christmas best. Please pick them up after in the pews. It is going to be a great show :)

- Each child will be given a Letter to Santa to complete for homework this week. It will go home today and be due on Thursday.

Have a great week!
