Week of 2/6

Mrs. Van der Waag and special guests, Owen and Will, were our Mystery Readers last week!

Dear Parents,

We had a great time celebrating Catholic Schools Week! Here are the reminders for this week:

- The Centennial Committee would like to celebrate the 100th day of the 100th year by having students and faculty members bring in 100 pennies. The students will get to roll their pennies in wrappers with their buddies on Friday. The money will be used to purchase a centennial gift for the school! Please send the pennies in a labeled ziplock bag by Friday. Thank you for your help with this!

- Friday is our 100th day of school this year! To celebrate, the first grade can dress up like they are 100 years-old! It should be a fun day! If you have any questions please let me know. Remember we have gym on Friday so students can wear sneakers or bring them to change into for class.

- There will be a math test on place value on Thursday.

- Reading and spelling tests will be taken on Friday.

- If you would like to be Mystery Reader this Thursday (2/9) or next Thursday (2/16) from 2:00-2:30 please email me and let know!

- We will be decorating bags in school this week for Valentine's Day. If you would like to send valentines in early please make sure you send them in a labeled bag. We will have a small party on Tuesday next week.

That's all for now!
