Dear Kindergarten Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed this nice warm three-day weekend! This weather is perfect for our field trip on Thursday. We will visit the monarch’s winter home in the eucalyptus trees in the Coronado Preserve.
You will hear all about it and may want to make this a family outing. I will send out directions to the preserve later this week.
Remember to pack your child a paper bag lunch, lather up with sunscreen, and wear school shirt, jeans, and older tennis shoes. A light morning snack will be provided. Thank you Renee Galvan!

Free dress this week on Wednesday—a $1.00 donation for Holy Childhood.

This week’s academics:
Jesus the Good Shepherd, a lesson of love and trust is our focus for the next two weeks.
