We will celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 13th at 2:00 pm. Students are invited to decorate a shoebox to put Valentine’s in. If students choose to bring Valentine’s treats they must bring enough for everyone in the class.
Ash Wednesday Chapel
As part of this service on Wednesday, February 18th, the children may participate in the imposition of ashes. If you do not want your child to participate, please let his/her teacher know. The children do not have to participate if they do not wish to. If you have any questions, please contact the school office. Chapel service will be held in the sanctuary at 8:40 am. Parents are welcome to attend.
Library Books
Each Thursday students have the option to check out books from the school library. Students are not permitted to borrow a new book until the previous book has been returned. School library books should be returned by Tuesday of each week so students can check out a new book.
KinderKonzert Field Trip
Kindergarten-3rd grade will be attending the KinderKonzert on March 3rd. We will wear school uniforms for this event. Students will need to bring a sack lunch due the time timing of the performance. We will eat in the classroom when we get back to school.
Please look for your child’s permission slip in Thursday folders this week. We are in need of parent drivers for this event.
All field trip drivers need to have the following documents on file with the school office:
- a current copy of insurance
- driver’s license
- background check
If you are interested in driving for these trips, please indicate on the form which parent would drive and how many students you are able to drive. Thank you for supporting our class!
