I am very proud of these students!  They have put forth a lot of effort working on First in Math and today our class was recognized as the top class of the week.  Way to go!  Please encourage your child to continue working toward earning the star on See3.  I still have several students who need to complete that assigned task.  They can still earn full credit if it’s completed over the weekend.  Next week, I will be taking off a point if it’s not complete.  My next challenge is to have all students complete the 3-9 game.

 

The Christmas season is upon us and the first Sunday of Advent is this

weekend.  We will start school on Monday with a prayer service in the gym.  Please make sure that your child arrives at school on time to enjoy this special service as we prepare for the birth of our savior.

 

Next week is Spirit Week here at Holy Spirit.  The special days will be:

Monday-Green/Gold Day and pep rally at 1:50PM

Tuesday-Pajama Day

Wednesday-Uniform Day for mass-girls in jumpers

Thursday-International Day

Friday-Holy Spirit wear and Crazy hat day

 

Candy grams are will also be for sell for $.50.  These can be copied from the school e-mail and I will try to get some copies next week if your child is interested in buying one for somebody here at school.  You can buy one for your child as well if you would like to.

 

Our class mass will be Friday, December 7^th.  This is just our class with the parish members who come to daily mass.  I will be passing out parts on Monday.

 

 

Please be sure your child is dressing appropriately for the weather (coat, hat, gloves, etc.) We will go outside for recess if possible.  Don’t forget to check www.mystudentsprogress.com.  If you are having problems getting on

the website, please check with the office.
