On Friday, we celebrated our May Birthdays.

Happy Birthday Cora and Paddy!

Dear Parents, 

This is our last week in May! It will be a short one but we still have a lot going on! Thank you to our chaperones who volunteered last Thursday on the bowling trip. The kids really had a blast, it is great to get back to those traditions. Please be sure to read all of the reminders:

- This week we will start our last story of the year. We will have a spelling and reading test on this story next Friday and it will count as the reading exam.

- A packet with the exam schedule and study guides was sent home today! These study guides can STAY HOME and are for you to complete and review with your child. We will be completing a set in school and they will be sent home when they are completed.

- We will celebrate our Monthly Mass on Wednesday at 9:00am! All are welcome!

- No school Thursday, 5/26 through Monday, 5/30!

- Doughnuts with Dads/Dudes is planned for Tuesday, June 7th at 8:30 am in the recess yard. Each child gets to invite their dad (or a "dude" if their dad can't make it) for coffee and doughnuts and some quality time! Dads, grandparents, uncles, close friends are all considered dudes :). An invitation was sent home in your child's home folder today!

Important June dates:

June 7th - Doughnuts with Dudes
June 17th - Closing Mass by the first grade! This was rescheduled from May.
