We only have a few months of school left.  Where has the time gone.  Progress Reports for the third quarter went home Friday.  Please be sure to review with your child and return by Wednesday.  Conferences will be coming up soon and we will be discussing the dibels and your child's progress.  We have a very successful class and I am very proud of each and every one of them.

Tomorrow we will celebrate Valentines Day.  Students are allowed to wear red and white free dress.   A letter went home Friday.  If your child brings valentines please be sure they have one for each student.  We have 26 students.
​
This week will begin the season of Lent beginning on Wednesday.  We will have a school mass beginning at 8:15 am if any parents or family members would like to attend.  Our focus this week will be on preparing for Lent. 

Our class will be presenting the Stations of the Cross on Friday, February 15th.  Each student will participate in the event.  It will begin after morning prayer if anyone would like to attend.
