Scholastic Book Fair 10/11-10/14

The scholastic book flyers will not go home for the month of October because QASPA is hosting a QAS Book Fair! The schedule hasn't been released yet for when preschool will get to attend, but we are included. Please check out the attached flyer which was posted in the RED Folder for the details. 
 
-Thank you in advance for supporting our school. 

Celebrating the Feast of St. Francis

Dear Parents, 


Tuesday, Oct. 4th is the Feast of St. Francis. To celebrate, we are going to have our own “Blessing of the Pets”. Each child is allowed to bring ONE SMALL stuffed animal to school on Monday. Weather permitting we will go out by his statue on the playground and say the prayer of St. Francis along with a blessing for the animals. 


Thank you, 

Ms. Gunther

Dresses

Parents, 
 
Please,  make sure if your child is wearing a dress to school that they have a pair of shorts on underneath. We have had multiple discussions now on keeping our dresses down, but somehow they keep getting lifted by the child. 
 
Thank you so much for assisting us with this matter. 
-Ms. Gunther

The orders for the Book Club has been submitted on Saturday. The order should get here within 10 business days, once it is done being processed. When the order arrives I will put your books in a bag and put them straight into you child's backpack, unless it's a big order then I will hand the bag to you at drop off or pickup.
 
Thank you so much for placing an order and helping our class get new books for our classroom library. 
 
Book Club Flyers are sent home every month, and there are always more options online.  Check out the page on our blog titled Scholastic Book Club for the link and our class Id for ordering.

Handicap Ramp and Stair Railings

Parents, 
 
Please, make sure your children are not using the railings and ramps by our stairs and by the Holy Name Room Porch as a playground. The children should not be hanging on/ climbing the railings, and should not be running up and down the handicap ramp. Before school and afterschool especially, when classes are lining up and dismissing. We know its tempting for them, but it is a safety hazard. 
 
Thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great weekend!

Extra/Change of Clothes..Opps

I was just asked about the extra clothes, and in all honesty we were so caught up with our last few days, we completely forgot to send home the extra/change of clothes. 
 
So.... on Monday, when you drop off your child, we will give you their clothes. Any clothes not passed back before hand will be given at the end of the celebration when your child collects their certificate. 
 
We apologize for this Opps moment. 
 
Thank you for your understanding.

Picnic Lunch with Faith Partners!

On Wednesday, June 1st we will be having a picnic lunch with our 5th grade Faith Partners as we meet one last time before our year ends. 
 
Lunch will take place at 11:35-12:15pm, and our 1/2 day friends are invited to stay with us and be picked up at noon. A note will be going home to confirm if your child can stay or not. Children should bring their lunches as usual, and 1/2 day can bring their lunches to school for the 1st time, if they are able to stay. 
 
We can't wait to see our Faith Partners and celebrate the end of the year with them!

Stations of the Cross

Here is the video of our Full Day group telling us the Stations of the Cross. Each one colored their own station.
