Dear Families,
I can’t believe we have made it to final stretch of the school year! This will be the last Buzz update before summer break is here. Our Preschool and Kindergarten students only have 3 more days of school, our older kids have 5 more days…this last trimester of the year has really flown by.
Both last Thursday and today, our 3rd grade classes completed a service project in collaboration with Common Pantry. The students collected items and assembled hygiene kits or ‘wake up’ kits. After assembling the kits and including a small card they colored, the classes walked their kits to the pantry and got a tour and learned more about what the Common Pantry is and who they serve. We’re so proud of our 3rd graders for their service to others!
On Wednesday next week we’ll have Field Day at Revere Park. Please be sure you’ve read the permission slip and familiarized yourself with all of the necessary information - what color shirt your child should wear, that they have a packed lunch, what types of items they are permitted to bring. Be sure your child is in comfortable gym shoes, as we’ll be walking to and from the park, as well as doing a lot of fun activities and games while we’re there. A HUGE thank you to our HSA for organizing everything, and thank you to all who are volunteering. This is a day that everyone looks forward to!
Next week brings a lot of lasts - last days of school, last days of after care and before care, our last school Mass and our last early dismissal - 11:30 on Thursday - please be sure to mark your calendar. We’ll also have our end of the year Mass at 10:00 am on Thursday, right before our dismissal. All are welcome to join us for that.
Have a great weekend and a wonderful summer!
-Mrs. Metz
