Happy Spring!

It is official, shorts are allowed as part of the student uniform. The students are now allowed to wear shorts to school.  Remember, that it is still pretty cold in the morning when we line up outside or go out for morning recess.  The predicted warm temps are not usually reached until late in the day.  It is a good idea to keep to keep an extra sweater or sweatshirt in the locker or  back pack for those chilly mornings. Also a reminder that all shoes worn to school must have backs on them.

Spring is here!

Yeah, Spring has arrived!! We have enjoyed the wonderful mild weather and are looking forward to more to come. We have sent home the boots and snow pants in exchange for spring jackets.  It still might be a good idea to keep an extra sweater or sweatshirt in your child's locker for those chilly mornings.  The boiler doesn't run as often it can get a little chilly in the morning. Also, the first day for shorts to be worn to school, is April 1st.

Salad Luncheon

Don't forget to mark your calendars for Friday, March 13th for Saint Mary's Annual Salad Luncheon. Invite your friends, family, and co-workers to attend our Salad Luncheon.  The lunch consists of an assortment of pasta, fruit, and vegetable salads along with salmon loaf and spinach lasagna for the main course.  To top off the delicious meal, a host of delicious desserts will be available.  Hope to see you there.

 

Pop Tabs

Don't forget to keep saving those pop tabs!  We are trying to collect 35 pounds of pop tabs to donate to the Madison chapter of the Ronald McDonald House.  We will be collecting the pop tabs until March 27th.  Ronald himself is scheduled to come and collect all of our pop tabs after Spring Break. You can even ask your friends, family,neighbors to help our cause.

Lent

The Lenten season has begun. During these forty days, we prepare ourselves for Christ’s Resurrection on Easter Sunday through prayer, fasting, and alms giving. Our theme this year is “Let’s Grow into Lent.” We will be participating in many different activities to grow closer to Christ during the season.

Parent/ Teacher Conferences

Don't forget Parent/Teacher conferences are this week Wednesday and Thursday.  All staff members will be set up in the gym on Wednesday evening from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.  If you are unable to attend conferences, please contact me to set up another time for us to meet.  I am available most days right after school until 4:30.  I look forward to seeing you and sharing your child's work with you.  The students have been working very hard and are excited to show you all they have learned.
