Picture Day is Coming!

Picture Day is Tuesday.  Be sure to remind students to wear the red polo (or red dress) for grades K-5.  Grades 6-8 should wear the Navy Polo.  If they show up in red I'm not going to stress it - it's their yearbook.  When you bring them down for pictures, line the students up in alphabetical order.  A volunteer will come to get you when it's your class's time for pictures.  You will take your picture at that time too.  If you do not come with a class, be sure to find time before 11 to get yours done.  No one wears PE clothes until after they take pictures.  They can change after that. 

Other reminders for the week:

• Band forms are due on Thursday.  
• Movie night is Friday
• Jean day is Friday (see handbook for rules - everyone may wear the make it happen shirts) 

Solar Eclipse:  This weekend a parent of an 8th grader posted on Facebook that we were renting goggles for $2.00 for students to view the eclipse.  I checked around an no one seems to know what this is all about.  If anyone knows where this comes from, please see me.  If you are going out after 1:00 p.m. with students, be sure you have a signed paper from parents.  

Change in Mass procedures... Maybe

Fr. Dermot would like to change the way Grade PK3-2 receive a blessing at Communion.  He would like them to remain in their seats.  After everyone has received communion, he will ask all those students to stand and we will all reach out our hands to bless them.  After 2nd grade receives first communion, they will then join us.  If there is a student in grades 3-8 that does not receive communion, they should still come up with their class for a blessing.  I did ask that if we changed procedures, that we do the same thing regardless of what priest is saying Mass.  He has not finalized this change but I want you all to be prepared.  I will be sure to let teachers of PK4-2 know what we are doing.  

HAVE A VERY BLESSED WEEK!
