- The Saint Celebration is on Friday at 9:00am in the church. Students costumes are due on Thursday in a labeled bag. Kids are to wear their gym uniforms to school on Friday. Please be mindful of the length of robes as the kids will be processing around the Church. Also, bobby pins tend to not keep veils on so if you can attach them to a headband that would be great. We ask that you sit on the sides of the church. Thanks for all of your help with this!

That's all for now! Hope to see you Friday!

Last week in Social Studies

Our lesson in Social Studies last week was all about working together and team work! After discussing why it is important to work together we broke the kids up in teams of 4 and had them work on putting a puzzle together that they made into a poster to hang in our rooms! They did a great job!
