4th Grade Girls Dress Code Update
|
|
|
The dress code states that girls in fourth grade must wear a jumper or pants. After parent feedback, the faculty has decided to allow girls in fourth grade to wear a skirt or a jumper.
On days that the school celebrates mass, students who decide to wear a skirt must wear tights with their skirt as part of the mass dress code.

Our Saint Bernadette students feel called to reach out to those that were affected by the devastation of hurricane Harvey. The Student Council organized a
Penny War
to assist in the aid for those who have lost so much.
Each classroom will have bucket for collecting coins or dollar bills. The value of any
pennies
collected by a classroom will count positively toward that classroom's point total, while the value of other coins or dollar bills will be subtracted. Our
students will be
competing between classrooms. One will be a winner chosen between the K-3, 4-5, and 6-8 homerooms.
All proceeds will be forwarded to the Arch Diocese of Galveston who have organized a relief effort between church communities.

The
St. Bernadette School Garden
had a
successful summer
once again.
Thanks
to the hard work of our garden heads, the
McElvany Family
and all of the
students involved in God’s Garden Club
and the
parents Garden Club,
the summer yielded a nice harvest.
Several families in the garden club took turns once again looking after the garden this summer.
It is a fabulous time! The zucchini, basil, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots seemed to do the best. The peppers and beans seem to be a deer favorite. The rabbits and insects seemed to appreciate the vegetables too!
The Bulldog Cafe will benefit from the rest of the harvest
. The students seem to enjoy knowing that their lunch came straight from their own school garden!

Kindergarten Friends Become Family
|
|
|
Our
new Kindergarten students enjoyed a few special days over the summer to play and have fun with each other. It was a
lovely opportunity for the parents and the kids to get to know each other
and it made the transition to kindergarten that much easier, because the kids saw some familiar faces on the first day of school. The
family picnic, in particular, allowed for both parents and children to relax, exchange stories, and enjoy the beautiful day!
Thank you to our Kindergarten Committee, Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Morris
for organizing these wonderful events.
Welcome
newbies!
