Week of February 13-17, 2012

Dear Second Grade Families,

Tomorrow we celebrate VALENTINE’S DAY with Valentine math, language arts, reading, bag decorating and a celebration. It will be fun.

Valentine letters with a thank you and request for the return of flat second graders has been sent. We are still receiving some mail from our flat people hosts and a few flat people have returned to Sacred Heart.  Soon your child will be bringing home the board, envelope with mail, and instructions for the second part of the Flat Person assignment to be completed at home.

Reconciliation for your child will be Wednesday, March 28. Hope you can join us. We will begin in Church and then have a little celebration  (brunch) afterwards. You will be hearing from our room moms as to how you can help with this. Since many of you will be taking time off work to attend, you may take your child out of school after the brunch for the rest of the day to have a family day. More info to follow.

HERE’S A BRIEF LOOK AT OUR WEEK…
