Dear Parents,
We were
able to honor Veteran’s Day in our Mass and also by having
Veterans at our lunch yesterday. We
are thankful for their service!
Each
classroom is collecting box tops, food labels, and milk covers. At the end of each month, the classroom
with the most will earn a pizza party sponsored by the First Catholic Slovak
Ladies Association.
Please watch for the H1N1 vaccination papers from the county in the mail at home. They should be returned to school right away if you want your child to get the vaccination at school. They will give the first batch of
vaccinations to those children who are 9 years old and younger.
Here is what we are working on in
third grade:
Bullying lessons with teens from the 4H Youth Teaching Youth
program

and subtraction strategies
