If they haven’t brought in $3, please send them with some lunch. They also should bring in something to drink (only for themselves) and some type of treat to share with the class- ex. donuts, cupcakes, cookies, or chips. Most children have told me what they are bringing in, but if you have not, please let me know today. The children are also asked to bring in some candy to give out to the PreK (5 classes) and Kindergarten (2 classes) during their Halloween parade. There are a few students who cannot attend the party because of having so many days of detention, so they must wear their uniform to school. All students must bring their bookbags since we will be doing work in the morning.

I. Our class will be hosting the All Saints Day Mass on Wednesday, November 1 at 9:00 AM. Many children are reading. All parents are invited to attend. Please have your child practiced their reading if they are reading at mass.
