Dear Parents

Well, at the time of this posting, we have school tomorrow.  PLEASE be sure and dress warm, it will be brutal out there!

Tuesday:  dress in mixed and matched clothes; assembly at 9:15 in the gym; assembly at 1:00 in the gym

Wednesday:  dress your best OR uniform; mass at 8:45; assembly at 10 in the gym; Edgewood led retreat for middle school in the afternoon; spelling bee at 2:00 in the church

Thursday:  dress in BLACK (7th grade color); bagel breakfast before school; volleyball at 2:15 in gym

Friday:  dress with your Catholic Schools Week shirt (will be handed out Wednesday); bowling at 12:45; Teacher appreciation at 6:30 in the gym

THANK YOU to the core planning team and all those who volunteered to pull of this great week!

Christian Update:  He will be home this coming weekend!  He sounds like he is doing well.  Please keep him in your prayers as he finishes out this program.  Let's pray that they have solved some issues and he is able to rejoin the class to the fullest!

Ski trip forms are due by Friday!

Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,

Whether you watched the football games or Downton Abbey there were lots of exciting things going on this Sunday night!  :)  Should be a great Superbowl with Badgers (and OSU Cowboys) playing on both sides.

This week...

Monday:  no school

Tuesday:  Beginning of 3rd quarter!

Wednesday:  Mass at 9:15

Thursday and Friday are normal as far as I know.

We start Catholic Schools Week next Sunday at 9:15 mass.  PLEASE look at your email as it has a schedule of everything happening during this very exciting week!

Report cards come home the week of January 27th.  Please keep your eyes open for them.

We heard from Christian (via email) this week.  He sounds great, but tired.  He is already very excited about seeing some changes and is very hopeful.  Please keep him in thought and prayer!

Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents

Hello!

There is nothing special going on this week.  Here are some reminders for the week:

Buy SCRIP!  Actually, I think our class, on most weeks, does a pretty good job of ordering.  It is one on the easiest ways to earn money for our school and towards your tuition!  Make sure you've placed your order by Tuesday at 10am.  I would love to hear of 3 new family orders from our class, this week!  (My challenge to you!)

Ski Trip:  PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR!  February 7th is the day!  :)  The kids are getting excited. I will have (try to) the ski packets out by Wednesday, but for sure by Friday.  Be on the look for it! The prices have not changed a bit and home-n-school pays for one of our buses!

Jim Weber has been working with the kids during our Business Education class on Friday mornings.  I hope they have come home and told you all about the check books.  This past week they learned how to use the register (learned many of us don't use them anymore... and that maybe I should do a better job of it), how to write a check and a deposit slip.  They seem to be enjoying their time with him.  He will be with us 2 more weeks.

Catholic Schools Week isn't too far away!  Be on the lookout for all the information about EVERY activity in the next few weeks.  An early thanks to those who are helping to plan the exciting week!

Have a wonderful week!

Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,

WOO-HOO!  We've hit 2014 and man is it a cold one!  I hope that you all have enjoyed the last 2 days of extra freedom.  I will admit I am getting a bit stir crazy and am REALLY looking forward to getting back into the routine of school!

Things this week will be a little turned upside down, but we will plow through. :)

Church is still schedule for tomorrow.  Remember to wear your uniform as it is Wednesday! We have families in the afternoon, too.

I also wanted everyone to know that Christian will be going to MAYO (in Rochester) after school on Wednesday.  He will be there until the 31st of January.  Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers!

Many blessings and LOTS of warmth!
Kim
