Hello!
I hope you had a great long weekend!
Schedule:
A Few Things:
1. Book Fair ended today. There was nothing like watching the kids scan all the shelves and seeing the excitement of a new book… or cool duck pen. Haha. A huge thanks to Mrs. Hartley and her volunteers that made the week possible! Once we get some final numbers, I will share with you.
2. Ash Wednesday Mass is Wednesday, February 18 at 8:05am. As always, please do not pull your child from their Prayer Family to sit with you in the back. Especially during these very crowded Masses, we need to keep the kids together. Thank you.

4. A reminder on our shoe reset:
- No Crocs

- Shoes should be secure and safe for running, playing, and learning
- On Gym Days, students must wear sturdy, fully-enclosed, non-skid shoes so they can fully and safely participate
Have a wonderful week!
