Week of October 24, 2022

First Grade Loves Having Mystery Readers

Here is the Mystery Reader Sign Up if you need it.

Please Note

-This week we will have our Saints Celebration! Be sure to read the reminders about the special day below.

- This is the last week to send in donations for our troops.  Please do so by Friday.  Thanks so much!

- We will be going on our first field trip to see "The Wizard of Oz" at Carroll High School on Wednesday, November 16th.  Be on the look out for the permission form and payment link. We will not need chaperones for this trip, but don't worry, we have a bowling trip in December with our 8th grade buddies where we will need volunteers.

- For the first three stories we kept the sight and spelling words to six each so that they kids could get used to studying them and to prepare for the test. Please note that we will now have ten sight words and eight spelling words per story. 

- Test folders will be sent home tomorrow. Please sign and return them on Wednesday.

- Friday will be a Phillies Dress Down Day. The kids can wear their Phillies gear under their saint costumes.

- Just a reminder to mark your calendar: No school on Tuesday, 11/1 and Friday, 11/4. 

- Conferences will be held Thursday, 11/3 (afternoon/evening) and Friday 11/4. Thanks for signing up!

Saint Presentation reminders:

- The presentation will be at 9:00am on Friday and will last about 40 minutes.  We ask that all family members sit on the side pews (left and right of the altar).

- The kids are to come to school dressed in their costumes over their gym uniforms or Phillies gear. 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.

-Have a great week and GO PHILS!
