A MESSAGE FROM MRS. STALLMANN
|
|
Dear St. Alphonsus Families,
The teachers and I decided the week after Easter break would be a great time to have a Kindness Week. So we kicked off our Monday morning with an assembly first thing and a prayer/blessing for the students to continue to be kind in words, actions, and deeds. Each day there has been activities in the classrooms for Kindness Week. Please ask your children about what fun activities they have done this week.
One change that we have been working on in the middle schools is to not allow a la carte items to be eaten after lunch up in the classrooms. Even on the 4
th
floor we have issues with ants so we need to be extra careful with food items in the classrooms. If students purchase an item from a la carte and do not finish all of it, they may wrap it up in a napkin and put it in their backpack to take home for later but they may not finish eating or drinking it in the afternoon in the classrooms.
Enjoy your weekend,
Mrs. Stallmann
