First we would like to thank you for all of the participation that you have been an intricate part of. All of the projects, fund raisers, and trips that will be organized shortly would not take off if it was not for your help.
On Tuesday November 4th, the third grade participates in the All Saints Day Liturgy. Each child is required to write a one page report on the saint's life. The third grade is then required to dress us as the saint or dress as what the saint is the patron of. The students have been assigned a saint in class. Check the web site for a complete class list of saints. The written part of this report will be worth 60% and the costume will be worth 40% of you child's grade.
