Mrs. Thornton's First Grade: Week of October 21, 2024

Please Note

- We have our monthly mass on Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. All are welcome to join us! Please remember no dress downs on mass days.

- We will not have a reading assessment this week, but please study the words because we will have the test next week.

-This week we will have our Saints Celebration! Here are some reminders:

The presentation will be at 9:00 a.m. on Friday and will last about 45 minutes. We ask that all family members sit on the side pews (left and right of the altar).
The children will tell you whether they are closer to the ‘Joseph of Mary’ side of the church.
The kids are to come to school dressed in their costumes over their gym uniforms. Sneakers are fine.
Please make sure any robes are not too long as we will be walking to and from the church. Also, bobby pins do not keep veils on so if you can attach them to a headband or use clips that would be great.
FYI…once our presentation ends, Msgr will say a few words, then the children will process around the church following an SKS musician playing "When the Saints Go Marching In"
After processing, the children will reassemble on the altar, and Mrs. Mulvanerty will dismiss the school congregation. 1st Grade will remain and you will be invited for group photos. Please do not take them for individual photos until we dismiss them from the altar. At that point, you are welcome to have a few minutes for individual photos and then we will call them to line to return to the classroom. If you would like to take their costumes you are welcome to. If not, please send them to school with a bag for their costume.

- The seventh grade is working on their annual service project. They will work with Case for Smiles and sew soft, colorful pillowcases for kids coping with cancer, and assemble gift boxes for their siblings. See below for information from seventh grade.
