Field Trip- October 17, 2019

Next Thursday we will be out of the building in the morning for our field trip! I will send out a reminder email next week Wednesday but please send your child dressed for the weather, whatever that may be. We will be participating in the program rain or shine, so rainboots, a rainjacket, and/or long sleeved shirts may be necessary!

No School- October 25, 2019

How are we already talking about the end of October?! Is it just me, or does time keep flying by faster and faster?!

Just a reminder to keep in mind for the end of the month that there is no school on Friday, October 25th, as all of us teachers will be participating in a professional development day, along with all of the Diocesan schools.
