I hope everyone enjoyed the exciting events of last week.

This week is special because we, along with all other Catholic Schools around the nation, are celebrating Catholic Schools Week. We have a lot planned for this week. Our theme is celebrating service.

Thank you to those students and their families who went to mass with us on Sunday!! It was a great start to a very special week.

Monday-is our prayer service
Tuesday-Sports day
Weds-Math bee
Thursday-guest speakers who will speak about their jobs

The students also wrote essays about their faith life. This was a religion and ELA grade-please make sure your child did it.

Progress reports will be handed out this Weds. Please return them by Friday.

Please be aware that due to schedule changes or lesson changes the homework posted each week, may change. Your child's planner will have the most accurate listing of the homework.

Graduation photos are this Friday!!! Please read the note that was sent home two weeks ago. It tells you what to wear. If you want a package send in the money as soon as possible.

Please let me know what Catholic Schools you got into. Please also give me a copy of a letter that states if you got any scholarships. We will announce all scholarship info at graduation so it is important that we keep this info on file.

This is such a historic week!! It is wonderful how we all will be able to share it together.

We will be watching the inauguration after lunch. Classes will be conducted as normal in the morning.
The classes will then have lessons about the inauguration in each class.

Progress reports come out next week-please catch up on your work.

There will be a quick quiz this week on Weds for grade 7. It will be on mental math.The topic will be adding 2 two digit numbers.

Grade 8 has their ELA state test on Weds and Thurs so they will not have a test this week.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the 8th grade for the dance. It was a fun time and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.

If you have any questions please email me as soon as possible.
