NEWS AND NOTES

Last night, I assigned a family religion page for homework.  I then forgot to remind the students to put their religion books in their backpacks.  So, they will be coming home with the books for the weekend.  Please try and take a few moments to talk about page 11 with your child.  We are beginning our preparation for First Communion.  Your child is also bringing home his/her mass journal.  Once again, I ask that he/she take this to mass over the weekend and jot some notes in it. 

Bring it back to school on Monday morning.  We are on week 5 in the journal.  If your family is unable to make it to mass, please jot that down in the journal. 

 

Please make sure that you keep your child’s First in Math paper in a safe place.  I would like these to be returned to school at the end of the month with a parent signature.

 

Valentine’s Day is coming soon!  Since Ash Wednesday falls on Feb. 13^th this year, the school will be celebrating with Valentine’s parties on Fat Tuesday-Feb. 12^th.  Please have your child sign and bring 23 valentines for the class.  It’s easiest if they are not personalized to each student.  We will be making Valentine’s bags in class to put our Valentines in.  Thanks so much!  The party will start at 12:00 that day since our class has specials at 12:55.

 

Our classroom is down to our last box of tissues.  This season has been tough!  If you can donate some boxes to our classroom, we would sure appreciate it!

 

I have received one package of local college items for the Reverse Raffle basket.  Please refer to Mrs. Moyar’s e-mail about items to donate for our basket.   Thank you so much!
