Hello Friends!!!

We hope that you had a lovely weekend!  Here is a look ahead at our week! 

Just a reminder, your student should have a homework sheet with this week's homework assignments.  If your child should have any difficulty with homework, please circle the number and let their homeroom teacher know.  We will gladly go over it with them. 

Another friendly reminder: All books should be covered in clear contact paper.  Thank you for your help with this.  

We will be painting this year.  We ask that all students bring in an art smock to use.  These smocks can be old t-shirts or button-ups.  Please make sure your student's name is on the smock.  

Looking ahead:  Saint Projects (the construction paper banner) is due on October 19th.  All information regarding the project was handed out during Back to School Night.  If your child finishes and would like to turn in their project early, that is absolutely fine!  

Our Saint Parade will be held on the morning of October 30th, along with the PreK and K Halloween parade.  Saint Costumes should be simple.  Please do not feel you need to go out and buy one.  Costumes could be made with old bathrobes, sheets, dresses, etc.  Be creative!  Costumes can also be brought in early!

If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact your child's homeroom teacher!
