D. October 30 (Friday) The children of Grade 7 will be allowed to wear their costumes for the celebration of Halloween. Of course, they must still wear a regular mask that covers their whole mouth and nose.

Each student is asked to bring in $5 for pizza. Each student should also bring a bag of chips or cookies and something for themselves to drink.

***If you will not be attending school on Friday, please let me know tomorrow so that I can make changes. There will be regular classes in the morning, so the students should still have bookbags. Dismissal will be at 3:00.

E. The 7th grade will be hosting the Mass on Wednesday @ 9:00 in honor of Sts. Jude and Simon. Parents are welcome to attend.

F. If your child must leave school early or come in late due to an appointment, please have them attend classes from home.
