November 25 AND December 2 (all in one this time)

Dear Parents,

I made an executive decision tonight and decided to combine this week and next week's posts.  I thought it might be helpful as the weeks after Christmas break are going to be crazy busy!

Science genetics projects will be returned on Monday, November 25th.  I am really impressed with the quality of the work.  Please take a look at the projects we hung up on the windows of the science lab.  I will get those grades posted on mystudentsprogress early this week.

Tuesday is a very full day.  We will be eating in the gym as an entire school.  PLEASE, if you plan to join your child (ren) and plan to eat, email Mr. Bill for a head count.  (stdhotlunch@gmail.com) After eating and a short break for recess the students will be rewarded by getting to watch a movie.  We have not chosen our movie, yet.  Any good ideas?

The following week we jump into Advent by having a short prayer service each Monday morning.  I have not heard details yet, but if and when I do, I will add a post here.   We have careers scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.  BINGO is on Thursday night.  (We had a great turn out on this past Saturday night for turkey bingo!)  Please feel free to join us at 5:30 for our first round of 8 games!  The morning of Friday, December 6th the students will have a guest speaker/teacher for business ed class.  His name is Jim Weber and he is a parish member.  He will work with us for several weeks on the beginnings of starting a business and general accounting concepts.

Friday, December 6th is Craft Day.  Our very own, Mary Banovetz is in charge of the whole production.  THANK YOU for all your efforts and thanks also go out to all who helped in any way to pull off this great afternoon for the kids.

Reminders:
*Sounds like last Friday was a great day for all.  The Kalahari trip went well and the Chazen art museum was enjoyed by those who attended.  Thank you to Mr. Beisser for organizing the Kalahari trip and Mrs. Brochtrup for organizing the art museum trip.  Special thanks to Ms. Polzer who accompanied on the Kalahari trip and Ms. Pitz who went on the art museum trip.  Congrats to MG on their football win at State!  Also, Ms. Salwedel (Sam's older sister) will be married on Thanksgiving day, so we wish her well as they all left on Friday to prepare for the wedding festivities.

*Eligibility will begin Monday, December 6th.  Teachers will check in with me about eligibility each Monday and coaches/parents/principal will be notified no later than 3:30pm each Monday of any eligibility issues.  Ineligibility will last from Monday to Monday.  The student will be encouraged to watch practice and attend games to support their teammates.

*Emma made it through surgery and sounds like things went well and are healing up quickly.

*Christian will be going to Mayo for a month long treatment.  This will begin in early January.  Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.  Also, please pray that the doctors are able to figure out what is wrong and are able to correct it.

*Thank you all so much for sharing your children with me.  I am truly blest beyond imagination by the St. Dennis family.  Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you always!

Many blessings!
Kim
