On Thursday, January 28 we will celebrate our very first 1st Grade Mass. If your child came home with a reading part, please practice it with them. They do not need to memorize anything, but should be able to read all the words comfortably and with expression. We will practice in class and in Church next week. By the end of the year, all the children will have an opportunity to read during Mass, but won't be required to if they aren't comfortable. There are other "jobs" that they can do to be an important part of our monthly Masses.
The week of January 31-February 5 is Catholic Schools Week! More information to come!
