Wednesday Mass

Room 4 is preparing the Mass for tomorrow: Wednesday, March 16th.  Everyone is invited to attend.

Conference requests

Please send in your conference request form tomorrow.  We will be scheduling conference times on Wednesday morning.  I sent some teacher request forms home today.  Please ask your child if they brought one home.

Homework from Mrs. Parsons, etc.

Each student has been asked to trace the outline of their foot on paper, color it purple, cut out the foot, and write one thing they are going to do, or not do, during this first week of Lent.

The foot prints will be put in the hallway at school to mark the path to our twinning parish in Honduras.
Each student will be given a pedometer to use during Lent to count their steps that will get us closer to our destination.

BizTown permission slips

Permission slips for BizTown were sent home today.  They are due back on Thursday, March 17th with the fee of $25.00.  If the fee is a problem, let me, or let Mrs. Parsons know.  Assistance is available.

BizTown Updates

The election campaigns begin on Monday.  The candidates may post their campaign posters in the 4th and 5th Grade hall and campaign during lunchtime.  The candidates will give their speeches on Tuesday and the general election will be on Wednesday.
The students will interview for their BizTown jobs on Wednesday, March 9th.  There will be some business professionals here at school to assist us with interviews.  The students should dress in professional type clothing for their interview.  Boys should be in shirt and tie, and girls should wear nice skirts or slacks.  No shorts or jeans, please. The studnts may bring their school uniform to change clothes if they wish.  The interviews will be held after Mass.
Adult volunteers who will be attending BizTown with us on Monday, March 21st.  Next week, all volunteers will be receiving a confirmation letter and list of the other parents going with us.

BizTown primary election

We held a primary election today to elect the top candidates for the mayor of BizTown.  Contratulations to Taylor Brown, Marygrace Cummins, Aubrey Lowry, Ethan Gogel, Dylan Kelshaw, and Grace White.  The candidates will begin campaigning on Monday. The general election will be held next Wednesday, the same day as job interviews.

Service Project

Please encourage your child to earn money, or give up something they want to buy and donate to the 8th Graders service project to benefit the Ronald McDonald House in Indianapolis.
A list of items has been sent home, and our class has no donations so far.  This would be a great family Lenten project.
