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.

100's Day!

Believe it or not, the first graders have been in school almost 100 days.  It seems like we were just unpacking our supplies and getting started, how quick the time goes.  We will 100's Day with the kindergartners and second graders on Friday, February 6th.  The students will be rotating through several different learning stations  centered around the number 100. We will end the day with a special 100's Day snack.  Be sure to ask your child about their day.

Thank you for all of your support for our fabulous school, we make a great team!

Welcome Back!

We were finally able to have a full week together.  Looking ahead, it seems the weather is going to cooperate for another great week.  Please remember to send all of the necessary snow gear for recess.  The kids are having a great time building various snow forts and hideouts in the snow hills.  It is wonderful to see all of the teamwork that is involved in the process.
