This morning, Ms. Jena lead us in a beautiful Blessing of the Pets in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. We learned about St. Francis and his life as well as how when he spoke of God, the animals listened. A few more photos can be found in the photo album titled Blessing of the Pets. 
On Tuesday 9/27 we had our first severe weather drill. The children were at P.E. when it took place. However, during our morning meeting we talked about what we should do, and how we need to cover our heads and stay as quiet as possible to hear the teachers. They did a fantastic job! I was so impressed as were Mrs. Hermes & Mrs. Divane, Mrs. Carlson and the upper grade teachers. After the drill was over Mrs. Carlson went to the gym to tell the children herself how impressed she was and what a wonderful job they did.  

Posting pictures on the Blog

This weekend I will be posting pictures that were taken thus far in the school year. The office told me that there was a google form in the beginning of the school year asking about taking pictures/posting. If you do not want to have your child's picture posted online on our blog, please let me know and I will not post your child. 
 
Any and all pictures taken of your child will be given to them at the end of the year in their memory books. Some will be laminated as I will hang them up throughout the year, and some will be on a memory book page, and others will just be added to the front pocket of the memory book binder. 
 
Again if you do not want your child's picture posted to our blog please let me know asap. I will also send this note home in tomorrows folder (Wednesday). 
 
I can't wait to show you what we have been up to!

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. 
-Ms. Gunther
