Dear Second Grade Families,

We will attend Mass at 8:30 a.m. on Friday followed by the saint presentations and parade as it is our celebration of All Saints day!   I hope to see many of you on Friday.

Remember to have a dress rehearsal at home with your child’s saint costume before Friday. They must be able to walk and kneel with their costumes.  They must wear their uniform underneath their saint costume. Any questions, please send me an email.
