Hello and Happy SPRING!

Hello 1C Families,
 Thank you for sending in the goodies for our green fruit salad last week. We really enjoyed it and it was a nice way to kick off our St Patrick's Day fun.


   Tomorrow is the annual St. Bernadette School Walk- a Thon! The children may wear their summer gym uniforms. Please be sure that your child brings in a water bottle with their name on it. It is going to be another beautiful, warm day. Please refer to the Walk-a- Thon paperwork sent home earlier this month for specifics. All fund raised go directly to improving and building our technology components. Thanks for your support.


   Arts Night is this Friday, March 23rd. The children have made amazing artwork with Mrs. Lapolito and it is their chance to shine. If you have not been to Arts Night, you will be amazed by the art displayed throughout the main building. Also, Mrs. Clune is inviting all grade one and two students to sing in Spanish at Arts Night. If your child is going to participate in this optional activity please bring them to the Media Center for 5:45pm on Friday. 


   Just a friendly reminder that there is a school wide Lenten Service Project that has been featured in our school news. We are collecting items for families that are in temporary housing at local motels. Please check the school new and fliers on stb-school.org for further details. We will be collecting donations in the classroom.


   The children will be bringing home their Book Buddy Bags on Friday, March 23 with a book and 2 book report pages. The children are familiar with discussing the story elements on the pages.  The follow criteria will be used in grading the book reports: completion of all parts including writing and illustrations, neatness in writing, details in illustration, punctuation/ capitals. The students are expected to sound out words and use of memory words is expected to reflect their learning. The Book Buddy Bags with the contents is due on Tuesday, March 27th!
