Week of 1/4

Dear Parents,

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that your new year is off to a great start. I also want to thank each and every one of you for your kindness and generosity to all of the teachers here at SKS. We are truly a lucky faculty.

This week will will get right back into the swing of things and work on getting back into our routine. Hopefully it will be a smooth transition back! Here area your reminders:

- First grade will be going to 8:00 Mass tomorrow. If you would like your child to attend please have them dropped off at school by 7:45. We will head over shortly after.

- First grade is collecting pasta sauce and penne pasta for Mercy Hospice for the month of January. If you can spare a jar of sauce or a box of pasta please send it in by January 18th. Thanks for your help :)

- I need Mystery Readers for all the Thursdays in January (7th, 14th, 21st, 28th). If you have not read and would like to please email me and let me know!

- Be sure to check out some pictures from our Polar Express Day! We had an awesome day!

Have a great week!
