Rosary Test tomorrow! FAQ based on email that I have received:

Does my kid need to know all the mysteries?
Yes, they need to know all 20 mysteries.

Is there an easy way to memorize them?
The mysteries are based on Mary and Jesus' lives. If you do it in this order: Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, Glorious, they will make sense. Also, just use the main idea and paraphrase if needed-- for example, Crowning of Mary, or Baptism of Jesus works just as well.

Does spelling count?
Spelling does not count, as long as I can read it.

POPCORN is back! 50 cents a bag.

Thursday is a non-uniform day! The mission team from Holy Cross will be visiting to talk about their Mission Trip. To support their cause, wear Filipino flag colours (yellow, white, red and blue) and bring a $1.00 for donation.

Friday is also non-uniform! Dress like a Holy person day! Students who are not is costume will have to wear their uniform.

Friday is also FOOD BANK MASS. Our class is in charge of the Mass on Friday. If your child does not have a part in this Mass, please rest assured that they will have a part in subsequent Masses. They will have their turn.

Welcome back! Hopefully the three day weekend was restful! The weather sure was gorgeous!

All Saints Day:
Friday is our annual dress up like a Saint day. We encourage students to dress up like their patron saint or favourite Saint. Bathrobes, bedsheets, big t-shirts and sandals sure go a long way in dressing up like Saints! I am also asking for three bakers to make cupcakes for our class for Friday. If you are able to make a dozen cupcakes for us (we have 31 students), please email me and let me know! THANK YOU!

This week, we will try to have all the assessments and tests by Thursday so that those that wish to go out trick or treating on Thursday night, do not have to worry about homework. Spelling activities (Unit 8--Write the Words and Word Power only!) are due Thursday.
