Catholic school's week schedule

Next week is Catholic School’s Week. 

 

Please read this information carefully to inform yourself of the many plans and activities.

(I am also sending a hard copy of these plans in your child's take-home folder today!!)

Sunday – Special Liturgy – There will be a special Catholic School’s Week liturgy at Holy Spirit Church at the 9 a.m. mass.  Students from the school will be participating.  

Monday – Faculty/Staff Appreciation Day – Students are to bring a sack lunch (milk will be provided) to eat with their Angel on this day.  Also, no refrigeration is available, so plan accordingly. Students will enjoy a movie/popcorn in the gym during the afternoon.  The dress theme for today is: Spirit Day (wear your St. Malachy gear/blue/yellow).  

Tuesday – Vocation Appreciation Day – Religious Station rotation with Angel partners. The dress theme for today is:  Dress as a saint or favorite Bible figure (a sheet with suggestions went home a couple of weeks ago).  

Wednesday – Community Appreciation Day –  Writing thank you letters to parents by students. Lunch with invited police, firefighters, and healthcare workers. The dress theme for today is: Dress as the Career you would like to be.

Thursday – Student Appreciation Day – Putt-putt golf in the gym during P.E. class. Cookies from Subway.  The dress theme for today is:  Dress in your Socks, Crocs, and/or Birkenstocks.

Friday – Grandparents/Special Guest Day –  School will be dismissed at 1 p.m..  The grandparent/special guest will pick up the first grader at school and go to Holy Spirit Church for mass at 1:30 p.m..  The grandparent/special guest will be responsible for taking the first grader home after mass.  The dress theme for today is:  Dress up Day  (dress nicely for mass).

Post this letter in a convenient place at home so you will be able to participate in all of the special events during this very special week!

Valentine exchange

Grandparent/Special Guest Mass

Catholic School’s Week is fast approaching.  One of the special days during that week is Grandparent/Special guest day.  It is currently scheduled for Friday, February 2 and will be at Holy Spirit Church.  Help your child invite an adult to join them at mass. It really is meaningful for all if your child has a special guest on that day.  And yes, we are expecting the grandparent/special guest to pick up your child from school for the mass and take the child home after the mass.  I sent a note last week about this special with a place for you to let me know who will be coming for your child.  I would like those returned by Monday, January 22, to insure that someone will be attending the mass and taking your child home.

Valentine Exchange

I sent a note about your child making a Valentine container at school.  Please remember to send a clean, dry 1 gallon plastic milk jug by Wednesday, January 31.  (If you can send more than 1, that would be great!)

On Friday, February 9, the first graders will exchange Valentines. I encourage the students to write their own Valentine messages. I have sent a list of the first graders in today's take-home folder.

Your child may begin bringing their Valentines to school on Tuesday, February 6, and no later than Friday, February 9.  A small candy treat may be included. Any questions, please contact me (Mrs. Levine).

Sorry, not a lot to inform or report because of the "Snow Days"!  Hopefully, everything will get back to "normal" next week.

First Grade Mass

Our first grade mass was cancelled because of the snow day.  I know the first graders were disappointed, but there are more opportunities the rest of the school year (We will plan and participate.).  Thank you for the support you gave to prepare for this mass.  I will need that support again in the future.

Guidance explanation

Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a relaxing, fun break!  Please note:  The first graders are planning and fully participating in next week's liturgy.  Please look for your child's part in today's take-home folder.

Guidance 

Mrs. Meisenheimer  will start the guidance lessons next week.  Ask your child what lessons they have covered in class.  Discussions will be centered around the gifts that God gives us:   gifts of family, self, life, love, and community.  Be supportive of the learning in guidance.  It sounds like an excellent way to learn how to get along with others in a healthy, holy, and respectful way.

Grandparent/Special Guest Mass

Catholic School’s Week is fast approaching.  One of the special days during that week is Grandparent/Special guest day.  It is currently scheduled for Friday, February 2 and will be at Holy Spirit Church.  Help your child invite an adult to join them at mass. It really is meaningful for all if your child has a special guest on that day.  And yes, we are expecting the grandparent/special guest to pick up your child from school for the mass and take the child home after the mass.  There will be a note for your child to return about who is coming on this special day in their take-home folder soon.
