First Grade Weekly Update

  • Our walk and visit to the library was a success.
  • Thank you to Mrs. Ortiz and her helpers for providing an ART Docent Halloween project on Thursday.
  • Halloween is Thursday. Students may wear their costumes to school (please leave any weapon replica’s at home.) Immediately following morning assembly we will have a school wide parade around the neighborhood ending with an opportunity for a photo on the yard. A breakfast party will follow (thank you to all who are organizing and contributing!) The students will also participate in the Carnival hosted by the Student Leadership Council. Whew! Dismissal is at noon-Share and Care is provided-don’t forget a lunch from home.
  • All Saints Day mass (whole school) is on Friday. This is a Holy Day of Obligation therefore we will not be attending our regular Tuesday mass. Please remember mass uniform includes an SPN sweater/sweatshirt and no shorts.
  • Remember to please send an oversized shirt for students to wear when painting in art class.
  • Please check sweaters/sweatshirts that come home with your child’s name-if it belongs to someone else, please return.
