I hope everyone has enjoyed the first two weeks of school!  We have really started picking up the pace, and we are off to a great year!

This month, third and eighth grades are responsible for helping with our school Mass on Wednesdays.  Each week, I will be choosing 2 third graders to present the gifts.  I hope to see some of you there!

Finally, I wanted to send out a quick reminder that our class PE days are Tuesdays and Fridays.  Please be sure your student wears their PE clothes and more importantly, PE appropriate shoes.  Thank you!
