MARCH 25-MARCH 29

This will be a short week with dismissal at 12:30 on Thursday.  The entire school will close down on Thursday at 12:30 for Easter vacation. There will be NO extended care. School will resume on April 8.
I enjoyed meeting with all of you for conferences.  Continue to work on vocabulary with your children and to remember to sign the reading packets and the planners.  Some parents are forgetting to sign.

The first and eighth graders did a wonderful job in presenting the living Stations of the Cross.  If you came I hope you enjoyed it.

Thank you to all the Community Helpers who have come and shared. The children have really enjoyed hearing about your jobs.

When we return from Easter vacation on Monday, April 8, you need to know that we are in charge of the second grade's First Communion. Students will be asked to bring either cookies or soda.  The First Communion mass begins at 9:00 on Saturday, April 13.  I will need 2-3 parents who will be willing to take all the cookies and soda to the church on Friday, April 12, in the morning at 8:00.  You will be in charge of setting up everything.  I will then need 3 parents to help with the reception on Saturday, April 13.  I will be sending home a note when we get back from Easter break.

The last vocabulary list is going home this week.  We have finished with money and will begin telling time on Monday.

The State of the School Address by Mrs. Blackburn will be Tuesday evening in the auditorium at 6:30.  Please try to attend.

During this Holy Week of Lent please try to attend some of the church services.  Remember Jesus suffered and died for all of us. It is a good time to start a discussion with your child about the events that occurred during this week.
