This week's adventures...
|
Welcome back from a well-deserved week away from school! It is always so great to be reunited with our students and staff after February vacation. Some sun-kissed (and many well-rested) faces filled the hallways this week, smiling to see their school family once again. Let's remain hopeful that the happiness remains, as we hit the ground running with our academic responsibilities!
Our students jumped right back in to their studies, putting forth best efforts and making certain any missing assignments were completed. The numerous absences due to illnesses experienced before the break, left many students scrambling with make up work and midterm exams. Everyone should be caught up with their responsibilities very soon, and we can finish out the second trimester strong! Students will also be sharpening their test taking skills this month, as they prepare for our standardized testing set for the first two weeks of April. Perseverance and hard work will be at the forefront of all that we do in the coming month.... from keeping our Lenten promises, to maintaining our academic expectations!
Please stay well informed by frequently visiting our website, and reading all school correspondences! We will engage in numerous opportunities for prayer, fasting and almsgiving during this holy season of Lent... let's continue this journey together!
Please be safe in this wild weather. God bless and have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Russo

Fly on the Wall... heard from the hall:
During classroom walkthroughs on Monday morning, I entered the second grade classroom to find the students in partners, preparing to go to confession, by practicing with a peer. As I came upon a particular duo, I leaned in a bit closer to hear, and one witty 2nd grader said:
"Don't worry, Mrs. Russo. When we get to the part when we tell our sins, we just say, "
Blah, blah, blah
," so they don't know what our sins
really
are."
