Social Studies: The Southwest States and Capitals test is next Wednesday, Oct. 31. Study guides have been sent home.
Rake-a-thon: The Rake-a-thon is this Friday after Mass. It would be helpful if parents could drop students off with rakes. Listen to the weather forecast for how to dress.
Halloween: Fourth graders do not dress in costume for Halloween, but we will have a party. We’ll have a treat and watch a video. If any of you want to volunteer to send treats, let me know. I’ll send an email request soon.
End of Quarter: The end of the first quarter is quickly approaching. That means I will have taken the majority of the grades by this Friday. Please check online grades to see if your child has anything missing. I will take late work through this Friday. Next week I will include a few test scores on 1st quarter also - like the s.studies test. The quarter officially ends on Thursday, Nov.2. No school on Friday, Nov. 3.
Book Sale: Sister Therese Ann is having a used book sale this Wednesday. Proceeds go to support her order’s work in Africa. Books are 25 cents each or 5/$1.
Have a good week.
