(my grandchildren....Alexandra, age3; Jimmy, age1) ***************************************************************************** I sent home a paper about a 'Thanksgiving Breakfast'. If you have not seen it yet, please ask your child about it. ***************************************************************************** If your child is absent, I would prefer that he/she get well rather than worry about homework. They will be assigned a class buddy when returning to school. They will go over anything that was missed and work will be made up on a lenient schedule. ****************************************************************************** ROMAN CATHOLIC Practice Test - March 13,2010; 9am-noon.
