Dear Families,
Thank you to everyone who reached out this week with birthday wishes - it was a great day! It’s really hard to believe that we’re in the final weeks of the school year, and there are still so many fun events to come. Be sure to check out the important dates below and keep with your child’s classroom newsletters so that you don’t miss anything important. This week our HSA put on our Spring Teacher Luncheon - thank you to everyone who helped out, it is such a great treat for our teachers (and admin and staff) to get to participate in!
We had a beautiful May Crowning Mass on Tuesday, our second graders did an excellent job participating in the Mass and honoring Mary. Our 5th grade readers, ushers, court and crowners also did such a great job in making the Mass so special. Stay tuned for the Mary garden where those flowers and plants will go - Ms. Gemo’s gardening elective class will be bringing that to life very soon.
Tomorrow our 1st and 3rd graders will head to the Brookfield Zoo. Next week our 3rd graders will also begin their service project for the Common Pantry by putting together hygiene and ‘wake up’ kits and deliver them to the Pantry. We’ll also have our play date and info session for our rising Kindergarten students on 4:30 Wednesday.
Have a great weekend!
-Mrs. Metz
