NEWS AND NOTES

What an exciting week in the Catholic Church.  I was impressed that many of the students knew that our new pope is named Pope Francis and he’s from Argentina. 

 

Everybody should have received a letter today explaining our Holy Thursday service.  Your child needs to practice his/her reading over break.  If a reading was not assigned, it means your child has an acting part during the play.  We may need some help with costumes, props, etc. so I will be letting you know about that after break.  This program will take place on Holy Thursday at 2:00PM.

 

Thank you so much for the donations of paper towels, pencils, and erasers!  I really do appreciate the help.  We are still in need of more glue sticks if you’re out and about and have a few extra dollars to donate some. 

 

For a Holy Week activity, the second graders will be doing a bible study scavenger hunt.  They will need to bring in a bible to school on or before Tuesday, March 26^th for the activity.

 

It was great getting to conference with you yesterday.  I think that the students did a pretty good job for their first Student-Led conference.  Thanks for coming and hopefully we can reach all of our goals during this last quarter of second grade. 

 

I am asking the students to remember to read and do some First in Math each day.  Also, don’t forget to take the mass journal to mass with you!

 

I hope you all have a safe and relaxing Spring break.   I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my own two kids.
