Living Desert field trip date change to Thursday, Feb. 8th.  There is no school on Feb. 9th due to a teacher in-service.

Hello families!  I wanted to let you know about some very important events coming our way in the next few weeks.  

 

Thurs. Jan 25: Science Fair:  We will be doing a class science fair project this week and next week.  We will be learning about the scientific method and creating individual journals for our project.  Families will not have to provide any supplies or create a board.  This will all be done at school.  The Science Fair will be open for viewing from Friday Jan 26 through Sunday Jan 28.

 

Fri Feb 2  Grandparents Mass.  Our class will be leading this Mass at 10:00.  All grandparents are invited to join us at this special Mass.  This is also a minimum day, so if grandparents want to take your student after Mass, please either text me with your permission or send me a note. (If texting, please text on Thurs 2/1 after school or on Fri 2/2 morning.)

 

Friday Feb 9 Living Desert Field Trip.  Permission slips will be going home in the next couple of weeks.  I will send a Remind notice when they are sent home with the student.  I have three driver/chaperones and will need six more.  I am limited to the number of chaperones I can take into the zoo.  If you are not one of the chaperones, but still would like to join us, you will need to pay the regular entrance fee, enter through the main gate, and meet us inside the zoo.  Chaperones do not have to pay an entrance fee.  

 

Tues Feb 13 Valentine's Day Party.  Since Valentine's Day falls on Ash Wednesday, we will be having our party on Tuesday.  Your student is invited, but not required, to bring valentine's for each student in the class.  It is much easier and more efficient if your student does not individually address each valentine but does sign it with his/her name.  Please remember we have 35 students in the class.

 

Thur Feb 15 MANDATORY First Communion Parent Meeting.  6:00 - 7:00 in the parish hall.  This meeting is for parents of students that are eligible to receive their First Communion this spring.  If you are unsure of their eligibility, please contact me.  We will be discussing the class the students will be taking, the date and Mass times, banners, clothing, and other misc items.  

 

I know this is a lot of information all at once.  Please mark your calendar with these dates.  And as always, if you have any questions, please let me know.  

Students need to be at the University of Redlands Chapel at 5:15 wearing their Sunday best.  Our class will be sitting on the very back, middle section, of the main floor.  You will need to sign in your student with either Mrs. McFarland or Mrs. Luther.  At the end of the program, the class will return back to our seats, where you can then check them out with Mrs. McFarland or Mrs. Luther.  Please send parents/grandparents that we have already met and know.  We will not release students to "Aunt Dixie from New York who is visiting for Christmas."  Thank you for understanding.

 I can't believe the last week of school is upon us!  This has been a terrific year and I will miss this bunch of kiddos!!!  

 

Here is a variety of info about next week:

 

SHA is hosting the 5:30 Mass this coming Sunday.  Our class is leading the Mass.  We will need two readers for the readings,  between 3-6 students for the prayers of the faithful, and a family to bring up the gifts.  Also, with the help of Mr. Turner, we will need someone to sing the psalm and others to help cantor.  Please let me know ASAP if your family can commit to being there on Sunday afternoon. You can either text or email me.  We would like to practice singing tomorrow during music class and I would like to hand out readings.  Thank you!!!

If possible, please have your student bring one or two grocery bags to class tomorrow.  We are sending something very special home that can't be seen until Sunday.  Thank you!!

Tomorrow is our tradition May Crowning Mass.  We are asking that each student come to school with some fresh cut flowers to add to our class flower basket that will be presented as part of the processional.  Our two flower bearers this year are McKenzie  and Cooper.  They were chosen by their classmates to bring up our class flower basket.  Please join us if you can.  Mass begins at 10:00.

Our class, along with the 4th grade will be leading the school in the rosary on Wednesday, May 17th.  This is a Living Rosary, where each student is a rosary bead.

 

The school is hosting the 5:30 youth Mass on Sunday, May 21st.  Our faith filled 3rd grade is leading the Mass!!!  We will need readers and a family to bring up the gifts.  Please let me know if your student is able to attend and read for this Mass.  Thank you!

Hola!!!  Friday is Cinco De Mayo.  Senora Downey taught the class a lesson about the history of Cinco de Mayo.  She also taught them how to make Pico de Gallo.  On Friday several students will be bringing ingredients to make it.  Here is the list:

Just a reminder that tomorrow's school mass is lead by our wonderful class. Girls can wear their First Communion dresses and boys can wear their suits or other nice clothes.  After the Mass there is a reception for the families (siblings are welcome to join us).  You are then able to check your student out fro the day.  Yay!!!  If you are unable to take your student, please have them bring clothes to change into.  They will also need to bring something entertain themselves as we will not be doing schoolwork the rest of the day.  Thank you!!!
