Week of November 27, 2023
Welcome back!
I hope your Thanksgiving was a special time where you could spend time with family and friends.
This is the last week of November and we begin a new report card term. Please remember to practice daily, the skills and concepts from papers that go home with your child. The extra review, practice, and support benefits your child in their day to day learning. Thank you for your help.
We are now coming to the busy time of the year! It is hard to believe we will start December on Friday. The time is going fast and we have lots to do! In three weeks we will be out of school for Christmas vacation.
Thank You, Thank You!
Thank you to the families who have donated mittens to the Christmas Service Project for the homeless. If you haven't donated yet, there is still time. If you can, please send to school newly purchased mittens. They can be for children or adults. What a great opportunity to teach children about kindness and taking care of those who are less fortunate than ourselves, especially at Christmas time. I’m sure children would love to go to the store, pick the mittens out, and use their own allowance money (if applicable) to buy them. If you can make this happen, what a great lesson on learning about compassion for others. Thanks again!
Picture Retake Day - Wednesday
Wednesday, November 29th is picture retake day. If your child was absent on picture day, they will have their picture taken on this day.
December Lunch Order Forms Overdue
Please fill out the lunch menu for December, if you have not done so yet. Send the forms along to school or to Mrs. Martens in the cafeteria. Please always send the menu by the due date so the cafeteria can plan appropriately to reduce the waste of food. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Scholastic Book Clubs
Book Clubs are due Wednesday, November 29th. If you would like to place an order please do. Please remember if you are planning for books to arrive in time for Christmas, our vacation begins December 15th. I would hope they would arrive in time but I can’t guarantee, that is up to Scholastic and the mail service. Thank you.
Looking Ahead - The Christmas Pageant
We have started to practice for the annual Christmas Pageant. Grades 1-8 participate in retelling the story of the Birth of Jesus through sight, sound, and prayer. The pageant will take place in Sacred Hearts Parish Church. Please save the date, the evening of Wednesday, December 13th.
