Please Note UPDATED 10/13

-Thank you so much for having the reports turned in last Friday.  They were so well done and I appreciate your time.  I  look forward to hearing them share with the class this week.  They are excited and can’t wait for the ‘costume part’, as they say!

- To accommodate all families the Saint Presentation will be done by each class on Friday morning, October 23rd. Each student will get to read a few sentences about their saint from their report. I will send it home their readings this week so they can practice at home. Information regarding start times will be sent out as soon as Miss Tosti, Miss Rooney and I figure out the logistics with this new format. Look for an email tomorrow or Wednesday. 

-Thanks for helping them be prepared for a new week with their clean towels and sharpened pencils.

- Test folders will be sent home on Wednesday. Please sign and return them with the tests in the folder on Thursday.

- On Wednesday, we will be "picking" pumpkins from the convent lawn! On Thursday, we will use our pumpkins for science class and then they will be sent home.

- School pictures will be on Thursday. Please send in your forms by then. There will be no class picture this year.  The students should wear their winter uniform.

- Our monthly virtual Mass will be on Friday at 9:00am. Please join us on the SKS Parish Youtube page!
