Week in Review:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Week 4 is in the books and it has been another great week at St. Mary’s. Our students continue to be active learners and at the same time, taking time to laugh and play with their friends. One of the perks of my job is being able to visit all of the classes and see what our students are learning. Without fail, our students from grades PreK-8th are always engaging and willing to talk with me about what they are learning in a clear and confident manner. Be sure to check out my photo album to see all of the neat things our students are doing in their classes. Also, be sure to take time this weekend to talk to them about the school, what they are learning, and what questions they are asking in class.
Need to Know:
- Who needs volunteers? WE NEED volunteers!!!
We are currently looking for volunteers for morning recess, lunch coverage, and lunch recess. We also will be looking for volunteers to work in the classroom on an as-needed basis. In order to volunteer at school, you must have your Safe Environment certification up to date and have a current Diocesan background check. All in-school volunteers must be approved by and scheduled through Mrs. Campanella. If you are interested in signing up to be a volunteer, please email Mrs. Campanella. - MOSS Fun Run:
This week, your students received a paper flyer about the upcoming MOSS Fun Run. If you have any questions about the event, please contact the school! - School Photos:
Each week, I post a private photo album on my St. Mary’s Google Classroom page. Look for the Week 4 Slideshow. See my past emails for directions.
