Mrs. Rachel Metz, Head of Lower School
Happy November! Thanks to all of the parents who joined us for the All Souls Requiem Mass today, it was a really lovely Mass and gathering. Tomorrow the teachers will have a professional development day, focusing on end of cycle/trimester grading and report cards.
Next week our 2nd-5th graders will have a music field trip on campus and our 1st graders will end the week on the field trip. In between, we’ll celebrate Veteran’s Day. There will be a Veteran’s Day Mass on Tuesday that 4th-8th grade will attend. Following Mass we’ll have Color Guard at the flag pole for the students in Kindergarten - 5th grade.
On Friday we’ll also have an Open House in the morning. Both current families and those interested in St. Ben’s are invited. We’ll begin in the Upper School library, you can enter through the preschool entrance.
It looks like fall weather and a bit colder temps are moving in. Please be sure your child is dressed for recess and dismissal - warm coats, hats, gloves, etc. I highly recommend labeling these with your child’s name! You also want to be sure that your child has appropriate uniform to be comfortable in their classroom - everything with the bell tower logo - sweaters and sweater vests, grey fleece, maroon quarter zips or the PE sweatshirt.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Metz
