Week of 12/5

Special thanks to Fiona's grandparents who came in and read to us last week!

Dear Parents,

The next three weeks are busy and full of holiday fun! Please be sure to read all reminders and mark some dates on your calendars. Here are the reminders for this week:

- The second trimester begins today. Report cards will be sent home before the break.

- We will be going to Santa's Secret Shop on Tuesday at 2:00pm. Please send your child's envelope in by Tuesday marked with who they are buying for and approximately how much to spend on each person. If you would like to come in and help your child shop that is fine!

- There is no school on Thursday.

- Friday we will celebrate the monthly Mass at 9:00am. All are welcome to join us!

- We will have a reading and spelling test on the story "At Home in the Ocean" on Friday this week.

- Please ask your child to check their art supplies and pencil cases. Many kids are in need of new pencils, glues sticks, index cards etc. It would be a good idea to get some new supplies over break. Thank you!

- A reminder that next Wednesday, December 14th is the K-4 Christmas Concert. It begins at 7:00pm in the Church. Students are to wear their "Christmas" best and you are asked to drop them off at the Parish Center at 6:30pm before. I promise it will get you in the Christmas spirit!

That is all for now!
Katie
