Week of 10/10

We were surprised again this week with another mystery reader! Thanks, Mrs. DeLisi!

Dear Parents,

I hope you enjoyed the beautiful weekend! The next few weeks are extremely busy so please pay attention to the reminders.

- Winter uniforms start today!

- Please do a supply check with your child! Lots of students are running low on pencils :).

- Picture day is on Thursday. Please be sure to send your child's form in on or before Thursday. They are to wear their winter uniform.

- We will have the Chapter 2 Religion test on Thursday. A study guide will be sent home.

- Friday will be a Pink Dress Down Day for Breast Cancer Awareness. Please send in $1.00 to dress down. Kids may accessorize (hair, face paint etc.) with pink too as long as is done at home.

- Next Wednesday, October 19th is Grandparents/Special Friends Day. Grandparents or special friends are invited to join us in the cafeteria at 9:30am to enjoy some light refreshments and to make a small craft. After that we will head to the library to shop for books. We will be finished by 10:30am. If you have any questions please let me know.

- Information about the First grade Saints Celebration was sent home last week. The kids should be working on their short report this week as it is due Monday, October 17th. They may choose any saint they want! Please make sure the report and the picture is done neatly. Don't forget to have your child practice reading their report because they will be sharing it with the class for a grade.

- We will be going to Highland Orchards for our first field trip on Friday, November 11th! Permission forms and information will be sent home this week. Please return the form and the money (cash/check) by Friday, October 21st. If you have ALL of your clearances and would like to chaperone please email me or send me a note. I need 4 and will draw names out of hat at the beginning of next week.
