Dear Fifth Grade Families,
Please read the information you need for the week of 02/12 – 02/16.
Earthquake
Yesterday during adoration, we felt an earthquake. Students did what they were supposed to do. Our 5th graders stayed calm and left the church quickly and quietly. After the incident, we went back to our classroom and talked about how they felt. We prayed the rosary and I told them that they did great in listening to my instructions.
Please speak to your child about their experience and if there’s any concerns, do not hesitate to email / contact me.
Monday (02/12)
It’s our pink/red day! Students may come to school wearing pink/red shirt with uniform bottoms. Students who would like to wear appropriate jeans must bring a $1 donation for the LA Children’s Hospital Cardiac Care Unit.
