Report Cards went home today.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  One reason I like this format for a report card is that it tells you exactly what you need to be working on at home.

Remember we're practicing tucking in our shirts.  Please have students tuck in their shirt before they come to school.

Father's Mass is Wednesday March 19th at 8:15 am.  The children and their guest should go directly to the church (backpacks can be left in the car or in the church basement).  If your child does not have a guest to sit with, they should report to the classroom by 8:00 to sit with me.  After Mass, the guest should escort the child back to our classroom.  Thanks for your flexibility with this.  If any of this changes, I will let you know.

Thursday March 13th is a 2:00 Dismissal.  Please plan accordingly.

The school play, Beauty and the Beast, is March 14 and 15.  Please purchase tickets through the office.  It is always a wonderful show.

Our classroom Lenten challenge is to do one kind thing a day for another person in the class.  Please discuss this with your children and encourage kindness!

Finally, thanks for all who came to our Read-In today!
