FLAT PEOPLE UPDATE: We are still receiving some mail from our flat people hosts and a flat people are returning to Sacred Heart and will be returned to their owner after their presence at the school fair. The second part of the flat person project is coming home today. Just a reminder that as much mail as possible needs to be neatly displayed on the board. Then any leftovers can be mounted in a thin binder. Thank you for your guidance with this. This completed project can come to school on Monday, March 5, or Tuesday, March 6. School Fair is Wednesday,March 7.
