Hello parents,

Please send in donations for our reverse raffle basket.  You can send in donations until Feb. 7.

We will be leading the Mass on Feb. 1 and on Feb. 17.  Everyone has a part in at least one of these Masses.  You are more than welcome to join us.  Mass begins at 8:30 am.  If your child has a reading, they will be bringing them home tonight.  It is always helpful to practice at home.

Thanks,

Mrs. Elliot

Scholastic Book Orders

Hello,
I wanted to let you know that I recently ordered 18 books from scholastic- 6 copies of each of the Titanic books on the last post (The kids are so excited to read them!).  I used all of my accumulated points from last year and this year.  Thanks to everyone who has ordered scholastic in the past for contributing to my point total!  Now, I am back down to 0 points so I wanted to remind you about scholastic book clubs.  See the letter below for information about ordering books.
