Please Note

 - Happy Catholic Schools Week! We have a fun week planned with lots of activities. You can find all the information you need below. Valentine's Day information is also posted below.

- There will be no spelling and reading tests. We will test on this story and new spelling words next week.

- Dismissal is at 12:00 pm on Friday! Please check your child's bus to ensure they are bussing home from school this day. 

 - 8th Grade wrote a story called Lil Bud which we shared today.  The kids made a 'Flat Buddy' which they can bring on adventures with them.  8th Grade was hoping to encourage kids to take Lil Bud home, spread kindness wherever they go, and even take a picture with Lil Bud so they can see his adventures. If you're willing, they'd love for you to share pictures of Lil Bud out and about spreading kindness along with your child.  Please send pictures to jsevag@sksschool.org.
