NEWS AND NOTES

This Sunday is our First Communion retreat from 1-3.  We will begin in the cafeteria.  At least one parent is required to come with the Communicant.  We also will be handing out parts for the Last Supper service that the second grade is in charge of.  We will let you know what time this will take place on Holy Thursday.  Also, we will celebrate this special sacrament as a school family at the school mass on May 8^th.  Look for more information to come later, but the students will wear their Communion outfits to that mass as well.  This way they can enjoy this special sacrament with the school.

Please make sure that you sign up for conferences that take place on Wednesday, March 13^th.  You can sign up at www.signupgenius.com and type in rparsons@holyspirit-indy.org to get on the group site.  We have been setting some end of the year goals for second grade and the kids are practicing the conference.  Come to conferences ready with some questions to ask!

Your child’s homework for the weekend is to complete page 51 with you in the Communion book.  Don’t forget to take the Mass journal to mass!

Our class continues to be the top team in First in Math!!  I’m so proud of all these students.  Hopefully you have had a chance to see the new challenge sheet that I handed out to each child.  This paper should stay in your child’s take home folder so that it won’t get lost.  If the student completes the assigned tasks for March, he/she may have free choice until next month.
