Week of 10/12

Dear Parents,

Hope you had a great weekend. We have a busy week this week and are cruising along through October. Please continue to review sight words, math facts and read at home! There are a lot of reminders this week, so please be sure to read them all!

- Winter uniforms start today!

- Test folders will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign and return them with the tests in the folder on Wednesday.

- On Wednesday, we will be "picking" pumpkins from the convent lawn! On Thursday, we will use our pumpkins for science class! Pumpkins will be sent home Thursday or Friday!

- School pictures will be on Thursday. Please send in your forms by then. There will be no class picture this year.

- To accommodate all families the Saint Presentation will be done by each class on Friday, October 23rd. Each student will get to read a short sentence or two about their saint from their report. I will send it home this week so they can practice at home! Information regarding timing will be sent out as soon as Mrs. Thornton, Miss Rooney and I figure out the logistics with this new format. Look for an email tomorrow or Wednesday. 

- Our monthly virtual Mass will be on Friday at 9:00am. Please join us on the SKS Parish Youtube page!
