This week the weather has really been trying to keep us on our toes! 60 degrees one day, to snow and rain in the same day just two days later. Please be sure that you’re sending your child to school dressed for the weather. We like to get the students outside for recess as often as possible, as well as outdoor dismissal. Warm coats, hats and gloves are needed before Thanksgiving! Be sure to label all of those things with your child’s name, as they have a tendency to get lost. When we do have measurable snow outside, we don’t allow the students to pick it up and throw it or to kick it around. Please help us keep dismissal safe and as dry as possible by reminding your children about this, as well.

This week I spend Wednesday Out of Office with the 2nd grade. The classes welcomed me and kept me really busy! Check out my post in the Buzz to see pictures and read more about my day.

Next week we have school on Monday and Tuesday. We have our all school Thanksgiving Mass on Tuesday at 8:30. We’re asking each student to bring in one non-perishable or personal care item that will be donated to the Common Pantry. Check your child’s classroom newsletter for suggested items. These items can be sent in as soon as tomorrow, but need to be brought in by Tuesday morning. Students will be bringing their items to Church with them and leaving them on the altar. Please DO NOT bring in the items to Mrs. Dodovich’s office - the collection point is the church.

I hope that you and your family have a relaxing and blessed Thanksgiving! We’ll see everyone back after the holidays when we’ll start the second trimester of the school year!

Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Metz
