I would like to welcome you to the second grade. I know we will have a wonderful year working, praying, and playing together. It is a very important year for us as we will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. My hope for the class is that the students will feel safe, happy, and are willing to do their best. Children learn best when they feel secure and accepted. I want them to know that we all make mistakes. We grow by learning from the mistakes we make.
