Dear Parents, Happy New Year! I saw some of you at the Family Fifties Night. Everyone looked like they were having a good time. I sure did! Your children are well on their way learning cursive. A little slow right now, but they're getting the hang of it. Next week is Catholic Schools Week. Lots of activities are planned. Tuesday, January 29 is Buddy Day. Remember to only spend $2.00 on a gift for your child's buddy. Blue and White free dress for Buddy Day.
Cherish lunch at the school on Wednesday, January 30. Senior citizens and residents from different retirement homes have been invited. Thursday, January 31, Decades Day. Friday, February 1, Mass at St. Patrick's 8:15. If you can drive students back to school I would greatly appreciate it. Friday afternoon is the big volleyball game between the 8th Grade vs Teachers.

Family posters are due on Friday, January 25. If they can not be turned in on Friday then Monday would be good. I talked to your children about the family poster on Wednesday, January 23.

The decade that Second Grade is learning and will be learning about is the 1970s. Any bit of information regarding the 70's would be nice. How did you feel during the 70's? What were you doing during this decade? Whatever you can come up with would be appreciated.

Thank you for all that you do for the school.
