Thank you Leo for bringing all of your Star Student supplies to school today. You did a great job presenting to your friends.
Tomorrow we will be doing our Blessing of the Animals during our morning announcements as a celebration for the Feast Day of Saint Frances of Assisi. Students are welcome to bring their pets, stuffed animals, or pictures of their pets to receive a blessing from Fr. Thuc.
Mom and/or Dad MUST take the pet home with them at the conclusion of the blessing and morning announcements.
Live pets must be brought to school in a safe manner that will keep our pets safe, our friend's pets safe and all of students, staff and faculty safe. This means ALL live pets need to come in a carrying case or on a leash. Parents, please do not let your child take sole charge of a pet that is larger than them, as they may get excited by the variety of other animals and decide to take off. =)
In class today we talked about the kinds of pets we can bring and the students had many questions. Please decide as a family if it would be a healthy and safe choice FOR YOUR PET to come to school. I look forward to meeting your family pets.
Please bring a stuffed animal to be blessed if you do not have a pet.
Our next "Winter Warmth" presentation will be this Friday. I will let you know if you will be presenting this time or the next by Wednesday.
The weather is turning colder, as we experienced today. Please come to school with appropriate clothes for cooler weather. Keep a sweatshirt and/or jacket in your backpack at all time just in case.
Thank you to everyone for signing up for your conference in the upcoming weeks. Please remember that your student is required to attend their conference. Thank you for planning accordingly.
Individual Pictures will be sent home tomorrow...
On the reverse of every package it states, if families are not satisfied with their photograph, simply return the complete package to the photographer ON RETAKE DAY 10/20/11 when they retake their photo.
Class pictures are not included in this package, if purchased they will be delivered once all students in the class have been photographed, so please ensure your students who were not photographed on the original picture day to take their picture on makeup day.
For those student who forgot to hand in their order form the first time, this will be their opportunity to purchase pictures but they must have their order form with them. Order forms will be found online (School One) and in the office by next week.
