Can it be May? Believe it or not, it's here! We have so much to do
before Grade 8 graduation on the 18th! On May 2nd, the 7th Grade invited us
to their Ethnic luncheon. They all did a marvelous job, and the 8th Graders
shared memories of their experience last year.
The class helped Senora Bryant set up for the Cinco de Mayo celebration.
In the afternoon, they taught their kindergarten buddies all about this
special day in Mexican history. They shared ethnic foods, broke candy-filled
pinatas, and did their best at the Mexican Hat Dance. What Fun! Thanks,
Senora!
We have our annual May Crowning in church at 1:15 on Tuesday, May 8.
It's always nice to see how many "big kids" remember crowning their moms in
1st Grade and singing that special song, "Let Me Be the Sunshine in your Day."
Congratulations and many thanks to all the class and their parents for
reaching their marathon goal. We have a FREE DAY on Wednesday, May 9th!!!.
Reading competition will be held that day at the former St. John the Baptist
School on East Main Street. Good luck, TEAMS!!!
