Saint Francis Solanus

September 7, 2010

     Hopefully, it was a happy and safe three day weekend for all.   I'm sure the children enjoyed a little longer break.  

     This week we will begin having our Children's Masses.   The 8th Graders will lead us at Mass on Wednesday.  Our class is scheduled to prepare the Mass for Friday, October 8th.

     TerraNova testing is scheduled for next week.   This is a standardized test which the second grade will be taking throughout the week.  It is important that your child come to school well-rested and having had a good breakfast.   This is the best way to ensure your child can put forth their finest effort.

     Attached to this class note is a Highlights Puzzlemania offer.   I am sorry to ask you to do this again so soon, but it is hard to pass up any opportunity for free materials.   Even "no" slips earn us points to exchange for classroom materials. Would you please mark "yes" or "no" and sign?   Parent signatures are required either way, but the other information does not need to be filled in unless you mark "yes" to order.

     I will be absent from school on Friday for a procedure in St. Louis.   I should be able to return to school on Monday, Sept. 13th, but then my next chemotherapy treatment is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 14th.   We will have a different substitute, since Miss Isaacks is no longer at St. Francis.
