Week of 10/9

Our "Bucketfillers" (Maeve and Ryan) from last week used their classroom coupons to eat lunch with the teacher and sit at the teacher's desk for the day!

Dear Parents,

The busy October continues! Here are your reminders:

- Test folders will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign and return all tests on Wednesday.

- We will have our Chapter 2 test on Friday. A study guide will be sent home.

- On Friday at 9:00 am there will be a Prayer Service to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima. All are welcome!

- 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 16th. 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.

- School pictures (in winter uniform) will be taken next Thursday. Please send your child in their winter uniform and pack their gym uniform in a bag labeled with their name.
