November 7th, 2014

Next week Student Council is sponsoring Spirit Week.  Students may dress down every day except Wednesday.  School uniform is required on Wednesday for Mass!

Monday: College Day (college apparel with jeans or sweatpants)
Tuesday: American Day (red, white, or blue apparel with jeans or sweatpants)
Wednesday: Accessories Day (any accessories that can be removed for Mass with school uniform)
Thursday: Profession Day (anything associated with a future profession, no sweatpants)
Friday: Hawaiian Day (bright colors or flowery clothes with jeans)

Conference schedules went home on Wednesday.  Please let me know if you need to change your time.

Our writing prompts for the month of October went home this week.  By the end of the year, students should be scoring an 8 or above.

We had a guest speaker on Thursday.  Rick Glassman came to give a science presentation to kindergarten.  Ask your students why a hamburger comes from the soil :)

If you would like a copy of the Christmas program music to practice at home, please send in a blank CD and Mrs. Fox will burn a copy for you.

The end of the first trimester is next Friday November 14th.  We will have a 2:00 Dismissal on Monday November 17th.  Report cards will go home on Friday November 21 and then conferences are scheduled for November 24th and 25th.

As it gets colder, please label all jackets, mittens, hats, etc.  Remember that students need jackets in order to play outside and as it gets colder/snowier, they will need hats, mittens, and boots.  Students will not go outside to play if the windchill is below 20 degrees.
