Upcoming items
The Student Led Conference forms are completed. They will be sent home tomorrow. I tried to give every one the times they wanted, however, since there will be multiple families in one time slot, it's not always possible to accommodate exact times. Although we cannot schedule a Student Led Conference for another time, if you are unable to attend, we can arrange a time to have a meeting. I'm sure this goes without saying, but the students need to attend since they will be leading their parents during their time. Every time slot is scheduled for 30 minutes.
Reminder: This Friday is a normal school day. Next week is no school for all students.
February 16th is a Dress Up Day. The Theme is Valentine's Day. Students can wear Valentine colours. White, Red, Purple and Pink. All monies go for Grade 7 Graduation.
February 16th is also our 100th Day of school. If they wish, students can bring in 100 objects that they counted. It's just for fun, so they do not have to do this. The objects can be in a bag or jar, etc. Examples: 100 Lego pieces would be a good idea. 100 cats not that good.
Thank you to all parents who responded to our First Communion survey. The consensus seems to be to go with a simpler reception.
Reconciliation will take place February 17th. With the week off, it will come pretty quickly. I will send home a practice sheet for the students with examples of what they will say and the Act of Contrition. They do not need to memorize it, but they should be familiar with it.
