Week of February 11, 2019

Our arugula seeds were the first to sprout!

Please Note
- This week the entire school is implementing "Kindness Week." We are doing this to promote kindness throughout the school and also as a way to honor the memory of some faculty members who have lost loved ones recently. Each student will receive the name of another student in the school and throughout the week will do small acts of kindness for that person. It could be writing a simple note or drawing a picture for them! Everyone will find out who they have on Friday! We hope to make kindness contagious! Be sure to ask your child about it! Please remember that no money should be spent and no food should be brought in. Thanks so much!

- First Grade has planted seeds for our Tower Garden.  We look forward to seeing them grow into healthy plants.  We will be tying 'Kindness Week" into our garden theme by discussing what makes love grow and what happens when we plant seeds of kindness, understanding, etc.

- On Wednesday, we will have our school mass at 9:00 am. All are invited to join us.

- We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Thursday. Please send valentines in a labeled bag by Thursday morning. Please no candy treats this year.

- On Friday, we will have the Chapter 10 Religion test. A study guide will be sent home.


- No school on Monday, 2/18. Enjoy the long weekend!
