Today we had our Read-In for March is Reading Month. Their reading class was transformed into a reading den. Everybody was cozy in their pajamas, slippers, robes, and other fuzzy warm things. Friday, Stephanie Patton, a former student will come and read to our Reading class as our guest reader for the month. Easter is just a few weeks away and tomorrow we go to Confessions after Mass. Everyone takes their Bible and reads or reflects on their confession while we wait for Father Bob. The students are going outside for lunch recess now, the weather is finally warm enough. Be sure your student comes to school in a jacket warm enough for them to be outside. The sixth graders had a Latin American feast when they presented their reports on Latin American countries. Each student brought a food that was familiar to their country and we had a huge long lunch. We ate the main entrees at lunch and had to take a dessert session for an afternoon snack in order to finish all the food! The food was as the kids say "awesome." Thank you to all the parents who prepared food and sent it in, and thank you to Mrs. Martin who reheated and helped to serve it.
