If your child has been taking hot lunch, you will be reimbursed. We will continue to offer 2 hot lunch choices daily. Your child simply needs to order it first thing in the morning in their classroom. September Lunch MenuSchool Photo Proofs
Many of you received an email with proofs of this year's school pictures. A hard proof will be sent home this week only and oldest. If you did not receive a proof email from Scholastic Reflections and would like a digital option, please send them an email. You may order pictures on line or through the school. Picture retakes are scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 8th.

Spirit Wear Day, Sept. 24th

In-service Day, Sept. 25th
This Friday, September 25, is an In-service day for teachers. No classes will be held. We will be working on Accreditation. If you remember from last year our Accreditation was postponed while we were virtual. Our visitation has been rescheduled for March, 2021.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Next week Tuesday, September 29, we will honor  Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by participating in a $1.00 (ANY donation is welcome) out of uniform day. Students may be out of uniform (jeans or sweats are acceptable) for a donation to this cause. This year our collection will go directly to a family here in our parish that has a son in the midst of cancer treatment. We are unable to tie blankets this year so this is the only event that we will take part in for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Pet Blessing, Oct. 2
 We will celebrate the Feast of St. Francis with our annual Pet Blessing on October 2, at 2pm on the playground. All pets must be leashed and everyone participating must wear a mask. We may be done a few minutes before the bell so you may take children home after the blessing. Buses will run as usual for students without pets. Unfortunately, if the weather doesn't cooperate, we will have to cancel this year's Blessing. Pray for sunshine! |

In Social Studies, they are studying prehistory and the Stone Age.
