Lent, Conferences, and Valentines Day

Parent, Student, Teacher Conferences will be held this Thursday in the gym from 9 am- 8 pm. Generally, each conference is expected to take 10-15 minutes, however, if you have concerns that will need more time, we should schedule an appointment next week.

Ash Wednesday, February 10th marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Students will receive ashes from Father Rob at Mass on Wednesday and will write their Lenten promise and act of good will on the back of a woven paper cross. These will be placed on their lockers as a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice for us.

We will be exchanging Valentine's with our classmates on Monday, February 15th.  If your child chooses to participate, please remember to bring enough valentines for each classmate, we have 16 students in 4th Grade. Adding a candy treat to each card is optional. Students should bring a decorated bag or box to collect their valentines, we will not be doing these at school.

Mr. Castrogiovanni has announced that the decorated classrooms doors were equally wonderful, therefore, all of the students have earned a Casual Day next Monday, February 15th.
