Week of October 20, 2025

 Please Note

-We had a great time on our field trip to Riverbend!

-This week we will have our Saints Celebration!  Here are some reminders:

•  The presentation will be at 9:00 a.m. on Friday and will last about 45 minutes.  We ask that all family members sit on the side pews (left and right of the altar).

• The children will tell you whether they are closer to the ‘Joseph or Mary’ side of the church after practice on Wednesday.

• The kids are to come to school dressed in their costumes over their gym uniforms or spirit wear for the pep rally. Sneakers are fine.

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

• FYI…once our presentation ends, Msgr will say a few words, then the children will process around the church following an SKS musician playing "When the Saints Go Marching In"

• After processing, the children will reassemble on the altar, and Mrs. Mulvanerty will dismiss the school congregation.  1st Grade will remain and you will be invited for group photos. Please do not take them for individual photos until we dismiss them from the altar.  At that point, you are welcome to have a few minutes for individual photos and then we will call them to line to return to the classroom.  If you would like to take their costumes you are welcome to.  If not, please send them to school with a bag for their costume.

• We will have our Unit 2, Week 2 reading and spelling test on Wednesday.  This was postponed from last week.

-Thank you for your help with the saint reports.  They were completed wonderfully, and we are looking forward to learning about their saint.  We will be getting ready for our Saints Celebration this week and next.

Their sneakers may get wet, so we are suggesting an older pair.  Rain boots are not really conducive to the hiking part of the trip. They will also need a snack and lunch.  We recommend using their regular lunch box and water bottle, but please be sure they have their names on them. We are looking forward to a fun day!
