Hopefully you enjoyed a productive weekend getting ready for the Holiday.

The students are working on their song for the concert.  They are looking forward to performing for you.  I know that some of you also have a child in the band and will be attending that on Tuesday night.  Due to the busy time of the

year we have cancel homework until after the holiday.  We will work harder during the school day.

Enjoy the holiday preparation with your family!

Hello Friends!!

Welcome back!!  We hope you had a lovely and blessed Thanksgiving break.

Looking ahead this week:

Important dates:

Giving Tuesday- Tuesday November 28th

First Friday Mass- December 1st

Included in last week's office news was the attachment for family placards to be used during car line. The new car line procedures will begin today.  You must have your yellow placard for students to be released. Please see email from office regarding this new procedure.  

As we prepared for the joyous season of Advent, we are quickly getting our room ready.  In our classrooms we have a classroom Christmas tree.  We thought it would be nice for each student to bring in 1 ornament to put on the tree. The ornament can be anything they would like (soccer, a holiday Christmas ball, a name ornament, a picture, etc).  These ornaments will be returned the day we leave for Christmas break.  We are asking each student to bring their ornament in this Friday December 1st.

Hello Friends!!!

Tomorrow our friends in Grades 3-8 will be going to see the movie Wonder.  Grades 1 and 2 will be staying behind, but we thought it would be nice to also incorporate a movie focusing on diversity.  Tomorrow we will be watching the movie Zootopia, and celebrating our differences and focusing on acceptance. 

Also, I am sending home scholastic flyers.  There are many great opportunities for Christmas gifts.  If you would like to place an order please use:

clubs.scholastic.com.  Our class code is RRMMM.  I will be placing the order December 1st to ensure that you receive them before the holiday.  

If you do place an order and it is a gift, please let me know.

Happy almost Friday, friends! 

Enjoy your evening!
