Dear Kindergarten Families,
This week we have a full day on Friday. We will be going to Mass that morning and sitting with our school families. Parents and/or grandparents are always welcome to join us. Although this week if you are planning on coming please let me know. I will do my best to have your child sit on the end of the pew.
