Anna's mom and grandmom were our first Mystery Readers of the New Year!

Dear Parents,

We are back in the swing of things here in first grade. Please make sure you are continuing to practice Magic Words and math facts each night. Here are your reminders for the week:

- SKS is having a Day of Service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday January 16th from 10am-12pm in the cafeteria. All families are welcome. First grade has been asked to donate deodorant. If you would like to donate please send it in by Friday. Thanks for you help!

- We will celebrate our monthly Mass this Wednesday at 9:00am. All are welcome to join us.

- Picture retakes will be on Thursday this week.

- There will be a math test on subtraction and fact families on Thursday.
