Week of 1/21

Dear Parents,

Thanks for those of you who volunteered yesterday to help out with the day of service. We spent time in class last Friday and today talking and learning about Dr. King and all of the great lessons he has taught us.

There is not too much going on this week! Here are a few reminders:

- Mass from last Friday is rescheduled for this Thursday at 9:00 am. Please join us if you can!

- There will be a Religion test on Chapter 9 on Thursday. A study guide will be sent home tonight.

- There will be a Reading and Spelling test on Friday. Thanks!

- Catholic Schools Week opens with Mass on Sunday at 9:30. Hope to see you there!

Have a great week!

Last week we became surgeons and performed "contraction surgery" where we carefully removed the correct letter/s from a word and added a "scar" aka an apostrophe. We had a blast and will practice some more this week! Ask your child is they can tell you the surgery steps!
