Homework help:  I will not be having homework help this Thursday, September 15.  I have an appointment after school.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

Camp notes were sent home on Wednesday, August 17.  Please return these by September 19. If your child takes any medication, you will need to a form (included in the packet) signed by a his/her doctor.  If your chlld uses an inhaler, even if it is not very often, please plan on sending it to camp.  

Thank you to those parents who volunteered their time to drive us to the Hampshire and Pacifica last Friday.  The students did a great job, and I know the residents enjoyed our visit.

The 6th grade is in charge of the Blessing of the Animals Mass on Oct. 7.  We will be making a poster for Mass.  Please send in any pet photos that you would like included.
