Merry Christmas and Happy 2010! This is our last week for this year. All work must be finished and turned in by Thursday, December 17th. Grades will be made out on Friday, December 18th.

All students are required to attend both performances as part of their music grade. Performances are at 12:30 and 6:00 p.m. Please come and enjoy a wonderful program! The week of March 1-5, first graders will be taking the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Please do not schedule appointments or vacations for that week. This test will give us an idea of strengths and weaknesses for your child. We will also ask for nutritious snacks for the week. We will have sign up sheets for snacks at a later date. Thank you for your help! We will celebrate Catholic Schools Week during the first week of February. We are planning a bowling trip and some fun activities. Please mark your calendars! Happy New Year! I wish all of you a very blessed Christmas!
