March 1-5

Religious Vocations Week

This week the students will have the opportunity to listen to several different people speak on religious vocations.  The students will also have the opportunity to ask questions, and talk to some of our seminarians.  The 4th graders will be dedicating our prayers this week to the men and women who are called to a religious vocation.  Please keep them in your family prayers as well.

Lent

As we continue on our Lenten journey, the 4th graders will be saying the Stations of the Cross as a class.  Each student will have the opportunity to read a station as if they were one the people involved.  This should be great way for the students to look at the stations.  They will each be bringing a reading home to practice. 

Field Trip

On March 12 we will be taking a trip to Mill Cit Museam.  If you have not seen the permission slip, please ask your child about it.  These forms need to be completed and returned by the end of this week. 

Thank you to all of the parents who have so generously wolunteered to chaperone.
