May 21-May 25

Wow, the last week of the school year. It has gone by so fast. I have really enjoyed the year and have been so fortunate to have a wonderful group of moms and dads who have helped with many things. Thank you so much. I will be sending home a note to let you know some things you can continue to work on with your child through the summer months.

Things to remember:

Your child needs to bring a sack lunch Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday is Field Day and the children have free dress that day.

Your child will be provided with lunch on Thursday.

Friday there will be Mass at 8:30. Students wear regular uniform. No shorts.

Dismissal is at 10:00. SUMMER VACATION

Have a good week. GOD LOVES YOU!

MAY 14-MAY 18

The days are going by fast now. On Friday, May 18, the 8th grade puts on the 8th Grade Carnival. It is from 10-12, with dismissal at 12:30. Free dress is allowed that day. The 8th grade will be around to sell tickets on Friday. I would suggest $5.00. That will be enough to play games and get some food. If that is too much then $3.00 would be good. If your child wants to spend more I usually allow them to buy $5.00 and then have them keep the rest of their money and they can buy more tickets if needed. Usually they do not run out.

No more news. Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

MAY 7-MAY 11

A very busy week for the first graders is over. Grandparents Day was a huge success and the first graders did a good job participating in the Mass and the May Crowning. This is a good time to remind your children that May is the month that we honor Mary, the Mother of Jesus. One way to honor Mary is to pray the rosary.

My first graders have earned free dress on Monday, May 7, because we brought in the most money in the penny war. We did not have the most pennies, but we had the most money because many students sabotaged us. When wearing free dress remember: no tank tops or flip flops are allowed.

I will be gone on Monday and Tuesday because I am attending an Autism Workshop. I will be back on Wednesday. Mrs. Kirby will be my substitute.

The talent show will be held Friday morning at 8:30 for K-4. It will continue at 10:30 with 5-8. You are welcome to attend.

Curriculum is the same with lots of review going on. Your children will be taking a reading assessment on Level 5. Continue to review vocabulary words and short and long vowel sounds.

A reminder: No spelling test was given on Friday. It will be given on Monday, May 7. Please study for it.

Thank you to all of you for your constant help and cooperation. It is greatly appreciated.

Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!
