A word from the Knights of Columbus:


Who likes ICE CREAM?  The TWO classes with the highest total purchases in the Knights of Columbus Shopping Card program will win an ICE CREAM SUNDAE PARTY!!!!

The Shopping Card Program is by far the easiest way for us to raise funds for our school expansion project.  Supporting the Shopping Card Program DOES NOT require you to spend extra money.  All you are doing is buying cards for places you go to already.  We are not asking you to donate extra money here.  You're simply changing the WAY you shop.

It takes a bit of time to get used to bringing your cheque book to mass and thinking about where you usually go.  However, once you get into the habit it's easy and you're able to greatly help raise funds. The proceeds of the program go to the parish, the Knights simply administer the program. 

Half way through the current contest the standings are as follows.  All classes are close and have a chance at winning so please keep purchasing these shopping cards.  Most importantly please keep supporting the program after the contest closes the weekend of June 7/8.  Every single family that participates greatly helps us raise the funds needed for our school expansion.

1st - Grade 5
2nd - Grade 4L
3rd - Grade 2
4th - Grade 1
5th - Grade 3
6th - Grade KL
7th - Grade 7
8th - Grade 6
9th - Grade KO
10th - Grade 5/6
11th - Grade 4K

Next week, we have a challenge of EVERYONE getting their homework done, as we have not yet achieved that this year. In the past, I've awarded the class with an ice cream party... and these students have been waiting to have one! To reward those who have been diligent about completing their work, they will get their ice cream sundaes on Friday. Those who are missing homework, unfortunately, will not be partaking in the reward. It is so important for them to know that there are consequences when we do not finish work on time.

To help them out, you can get started on Spelling this weekend. We will be working on Unit 28 next week and the activities are outlined in the link to the right.

Have a great weekend!

PS: 34 MORE SCHOOL DAYS!!!!
