Dear Parent,
          
          This week we are learning about Baptism. Please send in your child's Baptism picture to class. I will display it for a couple of days and send it back to you. Also, if you have the Baptism candle or any other memorabilia regarding your child's Baptism send it along.
      Graduation is almost upon us. It is on Thursday, June 11th . We will be going to Mass at 8:15 am. Please make sure your child is in school by 7:45 am as we will be getting them ready with the cap and gowns and the sashes. There will be a breakfast after Mass. We need your food donations in order to have a fabulous breakfast. Your room mothers will contact you for your help.
        Please have your child bring a boxed non-perishable food item to school next week. This will be our offering at the graduation Mass. 
        Our awards day will be Wednesday, June 10th  at 8:00 am. The afternoon of June 10th  is our sports day. Again the room mothers will contact you for any help they need.
        This week is the last week your child will be coming home with daily reading papers. I hope you saved all papers so you can review them in the summer to keep their little minds ready for the fall.
                                                                 Thank you,
                                                                       Manel McMillan

It's  Full school uniform day. Your child may wear school dress shorts but remember L.A is cooler than S.B. We will be leaving the school at 9:00 am sharp. Bring a sack lunch or money to buy lunch. The zoo will be crowded so a sack lunch is more practical. The kids will be able to spend more time visiting animals and not standing in line to buy food. Your child will have some work to so on the field trip. I will explain when I see you that day.

We will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo on Tuesday, May 5th. Thank you to Mr.&Mrs. Blanco, Mr.&Mrs. Ramirez,
