January 29th

Congratulations to the students and their families for the service project's success.  The children raised $35,578.50 for the Mini - Thon  FTK For The Kids.  The day proved to be successful in many ways.  Our children heard stories of real children from our own community who have been effected by cancer as well as worked together in a fun way to raise money.  Many thanks to the teachers that organized and the administration with Father Citino who allowed the event to take place at Nativity; to the countless parents and local businesses for all their generous contributions of time, talents and food; and most of all to the children and their families for all their support of this heartbreaking cause.

Also we will be planning our Cowboy celebration for the beginning of February.  If you could loan us a cowboy boot and plastic snakes so we could play snake in the boot we would appreciate it.  We have a parent willing to loan us a large horse to be used in the game of lasso the horse.  Beanbags would be great to play tossing the beanbag on to a square with 12 squares to turn and we will add the numbers (simulating horseshoes).  So if you have plastic snakes, a cowboy boot, or beanbags to loan us I would be grateful.

Thanks for all your support!

Happy Catholic School Week, to celebrate the children will not have any homework to do with you.  Any work that needs to be completed will be done in the classroom.

Tuesday is supposed to be our time to visit all the countries represented in NOOL; Wednesday is Student Appreciation Day and the Home and School will provide a treat for the children in the afternoon; Thursday is Mini-Thon Day; Friday is Teacher's Appreciation Day.

We are preparing for our Cowboy Celebration.  My Myers and I will be working together to have this on February 10th or 17th.  We will have many activities and the children will be putting on a dance taught by Mr. Myers.  It is so much fun!

Please be safe with this storm approaching.

Thanks for all you do.

We have survived our re-entry to school.  Again thank you so much for all your well wishes and generosity.
My angels returned to school ready to resume their roles as the best kids in my world.  I understand that math may be causing undo stress at night with homework.  PLEASE do not spend any more than 10 minutes on the work.  If it is causing an upset family time, just stop and write 10 minutes on the page and I will know we have to reteach the concept.  Your children do their very best everyday in the classroom so I know that the math concepts will become second nature.
Enjoy your weekend.

Wishing you all my deepest thank you for your generous and thoughtful gifts.  I do appreciate all that you do and realize the sacrifices you make daily.  So thanks for remembering this holiday season and mostly thanks for sharing your angels !!
  Hoping your holiday was as special as mine.

Good Morning and Thank you all for your attendance at our concert.  The children worked with much spirit for the presentation.

I have asked my Christmas elves (angels) to complete a secret job for me.  Here it is:  I have a little package I asked them to place under the tree from me to you.  I hope you will allow them the chance to do the job for me.  It will be a reminder of just how angelic your children are to me (I will also keep one of these for myself).

Let me take this opportunity to wish you and your families a Very Merry Christmas!

I also want to thank you for your continued support and generous wishes for my family.

My best present arrives today "Hennie Mars" my grand baby will be staying with my throughout the holiday.

Love,

The students have earned Red and Green Day back.  We worked to gain 15 tickets to allow us the joy of the  Red and Green Day experience.  They are proud and have, as always, surpassed the goal. So we will celebrate their goodness on Friday, December 19th, with a Slipper party (a little blanket, slippers, a stuffed animal and a robe may be brought in).

I wish our room was equipped with a video machine because yesterday the sight of these children wrapping presents - PRICELESS!!  You as parents also should be extremely proud.  Your love and example shines within these babies every day.

Thank you for all your continued support and enjoy this exciting pre-holiday time.

Hoping everyone had a Happy and Blessed holiday.  We are quickly moving towards Christmas and we hope St. Nicholas will visit our school on Friday.  I would appreciate it if you could send in one of your child's shoe. Please be sure to clearly mark your child's shoe with their name.
Reminder*****Friday, December 5th is our game day.  The children may bring in a board game if they wish.
