HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year!  May this New Year be one of much happiness and good health for all of you!
SECOND HALF OF SECOND GRADE
As we begin this new year of 2010 we also begin the second half of second grade.  This half of the year will bring many new lessons and skills to the students.  The children will be expected to do much more of their work independently.  Most importantly we will spend much time preparing for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.  I will be reinforcing at school what you are teaching your child at home about their faith.  It will be most important over these next several months that as you take your child to mass each week they pay close attention to all the details of the mass.  This will be an exciting time for all of us and I am looking forward to working with you to help you bring your child closer to God and grow in their faith through the sacraments.
PARENT RECONCILIATION MEETING
There will be a parent meeting regarding First Reconciliation on Monday, January 11th @ 6:30 P.M. in the cafeteria.  All parents whose children are receiving the sacraments this year are expected to attend this meeting.  The meeting should be no longer than an hour. 
BOX TOPS
Please help the school earn money by collecting Box Tops.  I've included a Box Tops page on my web page.  The page contains Box Tops collection pages for each month.  The collection pages are a fun way for the children to be involved in helping their school earn money through Box Tops.  Each page collects 10 Box Tops which is $1.00.  If each of the children were to bring in a collection sheet each month that would be $15.00 from our homeroom.  If we were able to collect that amount each month through the year, Room 12 could raise $120.00 in Box Tops.  Wow!  Have fun using the Box Top collection pages.
 
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
If at any time you have a question or concern about your child or anything going on in the classroom please let me know by way of note, email, or phone message.  Email is probably the quickest way for me to contact you throughout the day.  I check my email frequently during the day so please don't hesitate to send me a message if you need too.  You may also send a note with your child or leave a message for me at the office and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.  Thank you!
