Christmas Program Costumes

If your child is providing his or her own costume, it must be brought to school on Monday for dress rehearsal. Please send it in bag labeled with the student's name.

Gregory-donkey: We have costume. See note below.

Belinda-Mary: Bring costume on Monday.

Eliseo-Angel:  Bring robe on Monday.

Joshua-Singer-Night of program wear black pants, white shirt, black or red tie; doesn't need for dress rehearsal

Alexia-Angel: Bring costume on Monday.

Diego-sheep: We have costume.See note below.

Frida-sheep: bring costume on Monday.

Polycarp-Joseph (We have costume.)

Andrew- Angel: bring robe on Monday.

If Manny, Gregory, and Diego could wear black long-sleeved shirts and black pants, and Jayden wear a white long-sleeved shirt with black (or school) pants, that would help them look the part. Their costumes are pretty minimal so whatever they're wearing will be very visible to everyone.

Christmas Party

We will be having our Holiday Christmas Party next Friday at 10:45 a.m. We will have pizza delivered to the school – this will be taken care of by the front office. There are11 students in the class.

Accelerated Reader

The Accelerated Reader party will be tomorrow, Thursday, October 4, 2012.  Due to some computer difficulties, not all students were able to take tests, so all 1^st through 5^th graders are invited to the Kickoff party. Students may come in Casual Uniform (St. Luke shirt with jeans) on Thursday. The following first through fifth grade students were able to test and meet their Accelerated Reader goals for September!  The stars indicate the top point earner in each grade.

First Grade

Jose, Theresa, William, *Clarissa

Second Grade

Gregory, Belinda, Eliseo, *Joshua, Alexia, Manny, Diego, Frida, Polycarp, Jayden, Andrew

Fifth Grade

Stephen, Daniela, *Teresa, Jaihan

 All of the students in the second grade made their goals in September! Special congratulations go to fifth-grader Teresa, who earned the most points this month out of all the 1^st-5^th grade classes.  In second place was fifth-grader Jaihan and in third place was second-grader Joshua.

Parents:  If you can help with the AR party on Thursday, we need cookies, napkins, juice and cups.  Please send donations to Mrs. Heaton on Thursday morning. The party will be at 1:30 in the Cafeteria. Safe Environment trained volunteers are needed to help serve and supervise. Thank you!

In honor of the Feast of St. Francis, we will have our annual blessing of the animals tomorrow, Oct. 4th. Parents may bring a leashed or caged pet to the church plaza at 9 a.m. After the blessing, the pets must be taken home right away. For students who are unable to bring a live pet, they may bring a small- to medium-sized stuffed animal with them in the morning.

Monday's Homework and Notes

Safe Environment Training
We are hoping to reach the goal of having 100% of our class parents certified as safe environment trained. By reaching this goal, all of the children can enjoy having their parents participate in field trips and school events. The deadline for training is next Tuesday, October 2nd. Computers will be available at that time for doing the online renewals and there will be a training session for new trainees. Renewals can also be done anywhere by going to http://cathdal.org/pages/a-safe-environment, but must be completed by October 2nd. If you complete your renewal online, please email or bring the verification to Mrs. Carruth as soon as possible.
