Notes from the Teacher
-No spelling words this week and no test or
dictation. The spelling bee will consist
of words they’ve already had this year.
-This is Catholic Schools Week. This is a great week to celebrate and thank
God for the blessing of our Catholic Schools! Several things are going on all week. Here is a schedule of our class activities:
CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS WEEK ACTIVITIES:
Monday: Love Your School Day!

will discuss why they love their Catholic School.

write a class letter to a Fr. Ed Bradley to show our appreciation for all he
does for our Catholic Schools.

Tuesday: Fun in Faith Day!
-Holy card
swap; they may bring holy cards from home to swap, too.

the 4-6 Campus will visit to read to the children. Then they will make cards for those in a
nursing home.
Wednesday: Student Appreciation
Day!
-Students may
wear any “faith in education” shirt with blue jeans or other bottoms and will
receive their own cap to let others know we are a member of God’s team!
-Students from
each grade level will participate in a relay contest with the rest of the student
body cheering them on in a school Pep Rally.
****AS A SPECIAL TREAT, EVERYONE MAY BRING A
SCREW TOP DRINK WITH THEIR SNACK TODAY!
If it doesn’t have a screw top, they may not have it (school
policy).****
Thursday: Teacher/Parent
Appreciation Day!
-Students
will write letters or cards to parents telling them how much they appreciate the
gift of a Catholic Education.
-Students will
also be encouraged to let their teachers and staff know they are appreciated as
well.
Friday: Grandparents Day!
-This is a free
DRESS UP day for students.
-Grandparents
are invited to attend a special program at 12:30 in the gym. The students will be singing a song (by grade
level) for their grandparents. After the
program grandparents are invited to go and visit their grandchild’s classroom. Then
they may check them out from our room and enjoy an afternoon of fun with
them! J
**Parents
must send in a permission slip for children to leave with their grandparent!**
VALENTINE’S
DAY
Exchanging Valentine's cards
is a favorite activity for elementary students. All students may bring in
valentines to exchange on Friday, February 13. Due to our policy on
snacking and food allergies, children are NOT allowed to bring in valentines
with ANY type of candy attached to them or valentines that are packages of
candy. There is no way to monitor and ensure that all candy brought in is on
the safe snack list. IF your child brings cards with candy, we will have to
send them back home. Thank you for helping us keep all of our children safe.
