Dear Parents,
       

         There will be no Religion homework this week or the next. When there is a question at the bottom of the Religion homework, please make sure your child answers the question on another piece of paper.

     As part of our Religion program in Kindergarten, we often tell stories about the lives of the Saints. As you know, November 1st is the Feast of All Saint.  As a class project, I am asking the children to choose a Saint and dress accordingly on Monday, November 2nd. A simple costume will do and the children come to school dressed as that Saint. We will be going to Mass with the school that day and the Kindergartners will process into the Mass with Fr. Henry and our Our Lady of the Assumption altar servers.

     There are several books about Saints with pictures in our classroom if you need some ideas. Come in and I will help you. Your child should be able to say a sentence or two about the Saint he/she represents. This is 50% of your child's Religion grade.

      On another note, our annual Math-A-Thon is this Friday, October 23rd. We start after assembly. Those parents, who volunteered to help, please meet me at the Kindergarten door so I can tell you the procedure. This is a fundraiser, so please make sure you have plenty of sponsors for your child; 100% of what you bring in goes toward your assessment.

                                                        It's a win win situation, what a deal!!!!!

Dear Parent,

     

          Please remember to enroll your child's information on grade link. Enrolling is self-explanatory on our website. From now on all information will be posted on grade link. For example Billing, Fundraising, Tuition, FunFair and all other information will be done electronically.

          Your e-mail, phone number, child's medical information {especially students with allergies} need to be included as well.

                                                             Thank you,

                                                                 Manel McMillan

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
