Dear Kindergarten Parents, This year for our annual Halloween Party/Parade (Friday, 31st) the students will be dressing up as SAINTS instead of the traditional trick or treat costume. We will be teaching the children about many Saints to prepare them for “All Saints Day”. Here is a website to view names and pictures along with their stories. http://family.webshots.com/album/308761901GWoRyEwith If it does not arrive then type in Google...“pictures of Saints”. The children may use their patron Saint with their own name if they choose. Together we will help them be familiar and choose their favorite. I want this to be fun and SIMPLE to put together. For example, a Mary costume could be a blue sheet or robe and a towel tied on with a tie for the headdress. A priest could wear dark pants, dark shirt/sweater and carry an item related to that particular Saint like a book, staff, or flower. Please don't feel obligated to go out and buy something. The best costumes can be put together with bathrobes, sheets, unused fabric, ribbons, belts, etc. and a towel. Study what they wear in the pictures and be creative. Thank you, Mrs. Deelo

August 25-29 KINDERGARTEN'S FIRST WEEK OF FULL DAYS! Your little one's are very busy meeting new teachers and learning the routine. After exiting out the front door last week for dismissal they have learned the new routine to leave with the large crowd out the back door. I will try to walk everyone to the back door early so they don't get lost in the big crowd. In your Wednesday Folder you received a Pizza Lunch form (8th grade fundraiser) for this Friday, Aug. 29th. If you choose to order for your child please return it back inside the Wednesday Folder as soon as possible. Notice the separate fundraiser flier for the new playground. Send the money (inside Wed. Folder) and your child may have a "free dress day" Friday. Wednesday Folder Reminder.... Please read the information inside the Wednesday Folder returning anything needed to the office before the following Tuesday. Your child will return it to school and will eventually be in a habit of placing it on a table just inside our classroom door. AUGUST EVENTS
