Good Morning,
We have been having some difficulties with the ipads not being used properly. The new game Fortnight( spelling?) is taking priority with some of the kids. They have figured out a work around and are able to play at school. As we all know they are better with technology than we are! We are also having some cheating going on using Google and finding some of the resources that are being used with the answer key. Therefore, we have decided, to have the ipads collected at the beginning of each day. They will be able to use them when necessary, but hopefully, by not having the temptation of using them all day, they will be able to focus. Thank you for your support with this.
May Crowning is approaching. Please remember that the boys will wearing their dress clothes to mass and then will change into their school uniform. It is usually a good idea to send a hanger so that the clothes aren’t rolled up and stuffed into their locker.
Moms will meet with the girls to make the crowns on May 8th at noon. It usually takes a little more than an hour to make the crowns. After mass on Friday, moms and girls will have a breakfast in the church social room.
