Capital Campaign Survey

Parents,
Please complete the Capital Campaign Survey that is on the O.L.M. Lancer website before December 18, 2007. Your child will receive a free dress day, TBA, when you send in a signed note stating that the survey has been completed.
Thank you for your cooperation in this survey.

Thank you parents for making your child's First Penance so special. As Fr. Pat said, it is you who are the primary educators of your child. It was so nice to see parents, siblings and grandparents there. The children did such a wonderful job.

Parents,
Mark your calendar, on November 13, 2007, Father Pat will be talking to the parents of children who will be receiving their First Penance. We will meet at St. Patrick's Church at 7:00 p.m. Father Pat always does a wonderful job making parents and teachers feel very special.
We will start working on our songs for the Thanksgiving program which is on November 14,2007. Children should be at St. Patricks's Hall by 6:15 p.m. The show starts at 6:30p.m. It always turns out to be a good evening. Where else can you be entertained and get a good meal for a reasonable price.
Your child will be participating in the Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child is a program where our class will be filling up a shoe box with small toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and hard candy to be shipped to a child whether in the slums of Calcutta or orphans in Johannesburg. I would like to fill a shoe box for one girl and one boy in the age range of 5-9. I will send a letter home with some gift ideas.
As always if there are ever any questions or concerns regarding second grade please feel free to come by and see me.

Grading

There has been some confusion about the work packets that the students bring home on Fridays. The grade on the Practice Book pages is not the grade for the whole packet of work. The grade is only for the Practice Book pages, which is part of the Reading grade. I hope this clears up some of the confusion regarding the grades on the work that your child brings home on Fridays.
I want to thank those parents who drove to Park Merced for our Prayer Service. The children were very good. We sang all through the day. We had music that afternoon and then we went to Mission Gardens and sang a few songs and performed the Chicken Dance, and Head,Shoulders, Knees and Toes.
If there are ever any questions please come by and see me or send a note with your child.
