Week of January 2 - 6

2nd Grade Parent Update

Week of January 2 - 6

I hope you all enjoyed a very merry Christmas and happy holiday season. Thank you so much for the gifts. They will definitely be put to good use!

Announcements for this Week:

Feast of the Epiphany

There will be a special school Mass this Friday, January 6 at 11:00 AM. The Mass will be sponsored by the 6th grade (our “buddy” class) in honor of Epiphany.

Looking Ahead:

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 16 as we join the community in remembering the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I highly recommend celebrating by attending the annual Kingdom Day Parade. The parade begins at 11:00 AM at MLK Blvd. and Western Ave. and will continue west on MLK and south on Crenshaw Blvd., ending with a festival at Leimert Park. The California African American Museum in Exposition Park is also sponsoring a special program in honor of Dr. King. It will be held on Sunday, January 15 at 1:00 PM.

Second Trimester Progress Reports

Progress reports for the second trimester will be distributed on Tuesday, January 17 for students who may require extra support in a particular subject area. Remember - you can always use your login information to access Gradelink if you would like to check on your child’s progress in between grading periods.

Gateway to Art

Our next Gateway to Art session will be on Tuesday, January 17 at 1:30 PM. Please contact our docent, Mrs. Adela Rogers, if you are able to volunteer!

January Awards Assembly

The Awards Assembly for the month of January will be on Thursday, January 26 in the Front Yard. The Virtue Awards winners for this month will be honored.

Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week will begin with an all-school Mass on Sunday, January 29. We ask that all school families please join us at the 9:00 AM Mass that Sunday. Our celebration of Catholic schools will continue throughout the week with several special events, including Open House on Thursday, February 2 and a “parents-only” Mardi Gras night on Saturday, February 4.
