Well we are off to Catholic Schools Week at OLM. We have a busy week so I will try to give you some of the happenings.
Monday is parent appreciation day. Be expecting a note home from your child.
Tuesday is Buddy Day. It starts off with a Pep Rally as we have a big basketball game that afternoon against McSwain. Your child will be buddied up with an 8th grader. It is a free dress day with students wearing blue and white. Your child should bring a small goodie for their buddy. We ask that it be no more than two dollars. Cookies, a candy bar, or pencils are good. During the day we will be meeting up with our buddies and they will be eating lunch with them. It is a fun day for all.
Wednesday is the Cherish Luncheon. The first graders will be part of the entertainment for that day.
Thursday morning there will be a short patriotic show for the school. During the day we will be making valentines for the Veterans. That evening at 6 p.m. will be a Mother/Daughter-Father/Son basketball game.
Friday is the all-school Mass held at St. Patrick's. Please remember to drop your child off at St. Patrick's Church by 8:00. Mass begins at 8:15. Your children will be transported back to school in private vehicles. All of the permission slips have been turned in and all of you who volunteered to drive I will be using you. Thank you. At 11:15 there will be the annual Faculty/8th Grade Volleyball Game. Dismissal is at 12:30.
As you can see we have a very full and busy week. There will be no vocabulary words this week. Just keep reviewing the ones that have come home more recently. Curriculum remains the same. The reports on Kenya were all wonderful and so very different. Thank you for your help on this project. The International Night will be on February 9, 6-8pm. We hope to see you there.
As you can see we are very busy this week, but it is always a fun week. If you have read this blog have your child write on a piece of paper what day is February 2. Have a good week. GOD LOVES YOU!
