Week of March 3rd

Good Afternoon!

Happy first week of March :)

This week we will be celebrating Mass on Wednesday for Ash Wednesday.  If you are available please come to our Mass.

Also a special messenger went home today.  We will spend at least one religion class each week talking about each child and country for that week.  It looks very informational and engaging.

Also Best Buddy members can bring in $0.50 for a "spread the word to end the word" bracelet.  Best Buddy members will be allowed to wear these bracelets for the first 2 weeks of March.  We had a meeting today and received Valentine's from fellow Best Buddy members and even watched a video of them receiving our Valentines- it was very special!
