Week of 5/7

Mrs. McCracken surprised us last week to read!

Dear Parents,

First, I would like to thank all of you for the love, support and kind words to my family as we celebrated the life of my beautiful grandmother over the weekend. The flowers from the first grade were beautiful. My Dad and I are truly blessed to work in such a loving and supportive community. We can't thank you enough.

This week we will be busy starting a new story and preparing for our Mass on Ascension Thursday. I hope to see you all there! Here the reminders for the week:

- If you would like to order the summer reading book through school, orders are due tomorrow.

- Be sure to ask your children about our tower garden. We have been learning about seeds and plants and I am sure they will tell you all about it! Check out the pictures below!

- Please join us to celebrate the Ascension of our Lord on Thursday at 9:00 am.

- Chapter 18 Religion test on Friday. A study guide will be sent home.

- Mark down these dates:
                 May 23rd - May Procession @ 7:00 pm (kids need to wear their WINTER UNIFORM)
                 June 5th - Doughnuts with Dads/Dudes @ 8:30 am

Have a wonderful week!

Miss Tosti
