100th Day of School
Second Grade students celebrated the 100th Day of School last week by dressing like 100 year old people. From the Principal
Dear Parents,This is another reminder of the Home and School Meeting on Thursday. There will be much to report.
I will speak again about the progress we are making in the school and the next tasks to be tackled.
The Open House for parents of prospective students is February 16th. I thank those who have responded with names of individuals who might be interested in our school. I thank all of you for supporting the school in the community and encouraging those parents who might have some interest in the school to attend the Open House.
Remember that next school year we will have two homerooms for each grade kindergarten through fourth, so there will be openings in all the lower grades.
The progress of the school is to a large degree tied to the continued increase in enrollment. If the school continues to grow, all students in the school will be better served.
The Fair Committee has been at work busily preparing for the Spring Festival. Please see the attached flyer. They will have a report on their progress. The Fest is the largest fundraiser for the school and merits everyone’s support.
Parking for the Strawberry Festival will happen shortly after the Fair. Help will be needed for this important event.
Again, please make every effort to be at the meeting on Thursday.
—Dr. Gerard Toups
