This week in Kindergarten:
We begin the second unit in our Religion text, Growing in God’s Love. Focusing on family and power of prayer.
We attend Mass on Friday morning at 8:30, join us if your schedule permits.
Looking ahead we will have a Saint’s Parade on Wednesday, November 10 at 8:45 to 9:30. Parents be thinking of a Saint your “little saint” can portray. We already have a student who will be Saint Francis of Assisi. Choose a Saint that is meaningful to your family. We will write a simple report. More information coming soon….
