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.
