Week of October 19, 2020

- Thursday will be a Dress Down Day. Please send in $1.00 to dress down.

- Reading and Spelling test on Friday on a Musical Day.

- Reminder there will be no school on Monday, October 26th.

- Saint Presentation reminders:

          - Our class' presentation will be at 9:40am on Friday.  Miss Rooney's class is before us.  Please allow them to clear out before you enter the church.  Please make sure you are wearing your mask and socially distanced in the pews.  

          - The kids are to come to school dressed in their costumes over their gym uniforms (sneakers are fine).

          - Please make sure robes are not too long as we will be walking to and from the church. Also, bobby pins tend to not keep veils on so if you can attach them to a headband that would be great. 

          - All 3 presentations will be live streamed on the Parish YouTube page.  Please invite extended family to join us virtually!
