2nd Grade Parent Update

Week of February 27 - March 2

Announcements for this Week:

Classroom Support Staff

As some of you may know, Mrs. Heppell has had to leave our classroom due to family responsibilities. Starting this week, Mrs. Childs and Mrs. Klasila will be helping out in the classroom on alternating days. We appreciate your patience as we adjust to this change in classroom staff, and we wish Mrs. Heppell the best.

Hawaii Raffle Tickets

We are still short of our fundraising goal so keep selling Hawaii Raffle tickets to family, friends, and neighbors! Students who sell a whole sheet of tickets will earn a non-uniform dress days the following Thursday and have a chance to win free movie tickets! The due date for tickets and money will be Friday, March 2! The drawing will be at Pasta and Bingo Night on Saturday, March 24!

Dr. Seuss Day

We will celebrate the birthday of the great author, Dr. Seuss, on Friday, March 2! Volunteers from the LMU Library will visit our school and share their favorite Dr. Seuss books with us. Students are invited to bring in their favorite Dr. Seuss books all week to read and share with the class.

End of Second Trimester

The trimester ends on Friday, March 2. Please contact me if you have concerns!

Reconciliation Family Retreats

On Sunday, we held our first Reconciliation Family Retreat for students who will be making their sacraments this year. Students with last names beginning with M - Z and any students who did not make it this past Sunday will attend with their parents this week on Sunday, March 4 from 2:00 - 4:30 PM.

Looking Ahead:

Sacrament of Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be held on Saturday, March 10 at 9:30 AM. Students who will be making their sacraments this year should arrive promptly for the prayer service in church-appropriate attire and be prepared to take part in the sacrament - having examined their consciences and thought about what sins to confess and practiced the Act of Contrition and other penitential prayers.

Open House

St. Jerome School will be holding another Open House on Sunday, March 11 from 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM. Please invite friends, neighbors, and colleagues to join us!
