Dear Second Grade Families,
All students enjoyed READ ACROSS AMERICA activities on Friday as we celebrated the birthday of Dr. Suess. This will continue as students receive tickets for a drawing to be held at the end of March for books read.
The School Fair will be this Wednesday. Come and see the hard work done by our second graders and all Sacred Heart Students.
First Reconciliation will be Wednesday, March 28, 9:30 am in church followed by a small reception. There is information coming to you detailing the way you can help with this. Our non-Catholic students are included. Remember you can sign your child out from school after the reception and continue your family day. (Parents, you are invited to go to confession also after the children have completed theirs).
FRIDAY is primary centers and an early dismissal day.
