This week, your child is allowed to bring cowboy boots and/or hats to wear for fun as we read stories about ranch life. Please make sure they have their regular school shoes as well.
Please remember to send in a family photo no later than Wednesday so that it can be included in the poster for our 1st Grade Mass!
Operation Rice Bowl collection boxes were sent home on Friday. Please encourage your child to be generous with their pennies and spare change during Lent.
As we learn about counting money in Math, we will put our new skills to use shopping in a Lenten Store. Your child will be able to purchase inexpensively priced items such as small toys, pencils, erasers, stickers, and more. Most items will cost between 10 and 50 cents. Proceeds will be donated to Operation Rice Bowl. Our store will be "open" every other Friday from 1:25 to 2:15 for the next several weeks during Lent. I am looking for a couple of volunteers to assist the children as they make their purchases on the following Fridays: 2/26, 3/12, 3/26. If you'd like to help out, please let me know which date would be best for you - and THANKS!
Progress Reports will be sent home on Friday!
