Dear Parents,

We finished up the 2nd quarter on Friday!  We've made it to the half way mark, can you believe it?

The 7th graders MAEFAR project is due on Thursday at the end of class.  Many are finishing up early, so I hope they use their time wisely working on other assignments.  I hope to hang the projects up in the halls for CSW, so be on the lookout for them.

The spelling bee is scheduled for Wednesday at 1:00 in the church. Please feel free to join us and support those competing.

Report cards come home on Friday!  I hope to see you all on Friday night at the big party.

Finally, CSW starts on Sunday morning at 9am for church.  If your child comes, please have them wear their uniforms.  Mr. Curley is also interested in having as many students as willing to sing in the choir.  Please contact him if your child is interested in singing during mass.  Next week's plans are posted on the website.  I will have a brief run down on the update next week.  Looks like some really fun plans in the making!

Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,

The 7th graders continue to work on their MAEFAR science projects.  These projects are due at the end of class on the 28th (next Friday).  The students are using their time wisely in class and I am proud of each of them.

If your child has me for reading (we read the Hobbit this quarter), their projects are due on the 22nd.  I look forward to seeing what they create for the "portfolio".  We will start new reading classes on Monday, January 25th.

If you haven't paid the small fee for Catholic School Week activities and filled out the permission slip, please do so asap.  We are all looking forward to the week of fun and activities!

The ski trip paperwork came home last week.  Be sure to put February 18th on your calendar!  It is going to be a great day!

Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,

I hope we all enjoyed the warmer weather last week.  Looks like this week is going to be a bit chilly! I am sitting here writing this while the Packers are leading the game 24-18... let's hope it ends on a good note!

The 7th graders have 7 articles due on Tuesday.  I will not be accepting any late work, so please remind your student to turn those notebooks in on time.

We are in the midst of planning for Catholic Schools Week.  If you haven't sent in your $8 to cover various fees for the week, please do so soon.

We do not have school on January 18th.  Enjoy the day off!  I will post an update (with hopefully the run down of CSW) on Tuesday.

Many blessings!

Kim

Dear Parents,

We did it!  We made it to 2016!  I hope everyone had a restful, relaxing and rejuvenating vacation!  It seemed to go a little too fast for me, but being with family was wonderful!

This week we will hit the ground running and work to finish up this quarter in good standing!

There are no out-of-the-ordinary events this week.

Many blessings,
Kim
