Des Moines Field Trip

Our entire school will be going on field trips during the week of March 31 in Des Moines.  We will be viewing art at The Des Moines Art Center and watching glass blowing at J.J. Gaffers.  Since a grant was written for the expense of the field trips, there will be no charge!

The Kindergarten and First Grade (along with the Preschool and PreKindergarten) will be going on Tuesday, April 1.  The plan is to arrive at the Art Center, tour the facility, eat lunch, and then go to the glass blower.

Please complete and sign the field trip permission form so your child can attend (Which most of you have already done!! Thank you!!).  We would like these forms back by Friday, March 28. 

Since we will be away from the school during lunchtime, all children need to bring a sack lunch with a drink (12 oz. or less/no carbonated beverages,please).  Also, your child may bring a fully charged electronic device to play on the bus (their responsibility!)  And, please have your child wear their class shirt (with the coral) or St. Malachy t-shirt.  That will make it so easy for us to stay together on this fun day!!

 Lenten Activities

Your child is participating in special activities throughout the season of Lent. It is our hope that these activities deepen your child's understanding of this time of year.

• Your child made a Lenten promise that is posted in our classroom.  Encourage your child to keep their Lenten promise during this season of Lent. 
• Your child will work with their "Lenten partner" (Advent Angel) 4 times during Lent to complete some Lenten activities together. 
• There will be a Noisy Change collection on Wednesday, March 19 and 26  during mass.  Money donated will go to the Mark O'Riley Food Shelf.
• On Thursday, April 17, your child will be participating in a "Seder Meal" at school.  More information will be coming home about this event.  
• We will be going on a "Cross Walk" to Holy Spirit Church and then, pray the Stations of the Cross once we arrive at the church. This is happening on Thursday, April 17 (weather permitting). More information will be coming home about this event.
• On Friday, April 18, (Good Friday) the middle school will present a Reader's Theater in the gym.
