May Newsletter

I have been remiss in blogging- my apologies.

May Crowning

May Crowning is Thursday, May 8 at 8:30am in the church.  This is a beautiful tradition the entire school is involved in.  Please join us if you can.

Students may bring flowers to present to the Virgin Mary.  This is an excellent way to participate in this liturgy and I encourage it!

Field Trip

This Friday May 9 we are going on the Los Angeles trip to the California Science Center.  Thank you to those of you who have already turned in permission slips and $12- if your child hasn't done this yet, please have him/her do so by tomorrow (Thursday, May 8).  Out of the money, $1 helps pay for parking, $1 helps tip the bus driver, and the rest is given back to the child for lunch.

Students must wear comfortable tennis shoes, jeans, and a school shirt (polo, spirit shirt, or class shirt).  They should also bring a sweater- weather in Los Angeles may be cooler than here.  They may also bring a small pack for books, cards, blanket, etc.  Any of these items are the student's responsibility.  Students may not bring electronic devices.

We MUST meet here at the school at 6:45am on Friday- the bus needs to leave at 7:00am.  We should be back at the school at 5:00pm.

Thank you to those who are chaperones for this trip- remember you also should wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

If anyone needs hours, please contact me to be part of a phone tree for this trip.  I could use help contacting parents when we are about 30 minutes away from the school to make it easier to coordinate student pick up.

Mothers Day

The Mothers Day Prayer Service is Monday, May12 at 9:00am in the church.  Mothers, and those of you who take on the role of mother in a child's life, will be honored at this service.  All are welcome to attend.

Third Trimester Project

Lastly, the students have been assigned a project in science.  They each have been assigned a topic, and they must write a 2-4 page typed research report, as well as present a creative way to teach the class about their topic.  Each student has a form that explains this in detail.  This form is attached to the assignment on Gradelink if you have not seen this.  Presentations are scheduled for Monday May 19 through Friday May 23 (eighth grade has theirs a week earlier).
