LOTS going on in second grade!

THIS WEEK

Monday we are working on finishing up all of our ongoing projects before we leave for the holiday break.

Wednesday is our Buddy Mass and our Christmas party (11:00-12:15). Please join us if you can for these fun events. Make sure to check in to the front office if you are coming to the classroom at any time. Thank you. Wednesday is also a Non-Uniform day.  Please remember when you are coming to school in regular clothes that this is a Mass day and you must dress nicely.  You can refer to the Student/Parent Handbook if you are unsure of what to wear.  If you wear something that is inappropriate for Mass, your family will have to come to school with different clothes for you and you will not be participating in our exciting holiday activities. Thank you.

FIRST RECONCILIATION PREPARATION

We have completed the first four chapters of preparation for this Sacrament.  PLEASE take the time with your family to complete the first four chapters before Christmas vacation (it was all due today).  Our celebration is coming soon and we would love for everyone to be able to celebrate with us.  You must have this work done in order to celebrate First Reconciliation.

FIELD TRIP

Mrs. Wall made a mistake! Our field trip is MONDAY, JANUARY 7TH, not the 17th. A new field trip permission slip will be coming home today. We only need your information and signatures on this form to acknowledge that it is Monday, January 7th that we will be away from school. Please return this form as soon as possible. We are able to take four parent volunteers with us to the play on this day.

VOLUNTEERS AT SLEMS

Please be aware that the new diocese requirements are that you must be cleared with fingerprints, TB Test and the SAFE Environment course (online) for the remainder of the school year, effective January 1st, 2013, if you would like to volunteer in the classroom or be working with the students in any capacity. Thank you so much!
