Hello Parents
Gaga Ball - Students love playing in our gaga ball pit. The game is a lot of fun but has recently been a source of conflict. We are instituting a course for all students grade 3 and up who want to play gaga ball. In order to be allowed to play, students must complete the course and earn a bracelet. Students who violate the rules will lose their bracelet until they prove that they can participate according to the rules.
Sacrament Prep – letters have gone home with grade 2 students about registering for First Confession and First Communion. If your child has not received these Sacraments and you would like them to, please reach out to the school and we will send you registration forms and information. There will be an information meeting with Father Ikedi on November 20th at 6:00pm in the library for all families planning on receiving the Sacraments.
Bubble Gum – the kindergarten team will be selling bubble gum on Thursdays at lunch for 25 cents.
Vendor Sale – the Catholic School Council is hosting a Vendor Sale on Saturday, November 23rd from 10 - 4 at the school. There will be vendors, Santa will be available for photos and it will be a great opportunity to support the St. Jude Catholic School Council. All of the money raised goes towards our students. If you know of a business interested in donating to the silent auction or know a vendor interested in purchasing a table, please reach out to CSC Chair Jodi-Lynn Brannen.
Hot Lunches – last week we started hot lunches. Things went well from a school perspective. There was some confusion with parents not knowing what days hot lunches were happening. Hot lunches will be included on the calendar in upcoming months.
Progress Reports will be going home to families on November 19th. Parent-Teacher Interviews will be held on Wednesday, November 27th from 4 - 7pm. Parents will be asked to book a time to meet with their child's teacher.
