Today literally marks the first day of Lent as we celebrated Ash Wednesday with a Mass. A cross was placed upon our forehead with ashes. The ashes are made with the blessed palms from last year's Palm Sunday. Students are bringing home a Lent tracking sheet, very similar to our reading log. Each student is expected to do an act of kindness and to colour the sheets accordingly. I will check the sheets every Monday to ensure that we are keeping up with it. They are also bringing home a Lenten box. The offerings are for the seminarians.
TOMORROW is a field trip day. Grade Threes are leaving here by 8:20 on school bus so ensure that your child is at school by 8:15. Please meet in Mrs. Tyrrell's classroom. They will back by the end of the day. Grade Fours will have a regular morning with an early lunch. We will leave at 12:00 with parent drivers and we will be back by 2pm.
FRIDAY is our Class Speech Arts. Students will do bible readings in the morning. Poetry and speeches will be at 1:30pm. Parents are welcome to come at that time. The Local Speech Arts have been MOVED to Wednesday, Feb 29 (primary) and Thursday, Mar 1 (intermediate). Our class poem, Casey at the Bat, will be performed on Mar 1. Please ensure that your child has been practicing this poem along with their own. We are doing a dramatic reading, so students will be dressed in jeans, t-shirt and baseball caps (optional).

We will also have a lot of treats, like cotton candy, snow cones and popcorn for all ages! Charlotte Diamond will be performing from 6-7pm, however, it is only open only to those who have wrist bands.We hope to see you there!!!
Sincerely, Mrs. Fonseca
