Dear parents,
Please do not request that your child be given classwork or permitted to take an exam early due to pleasure trips or vacations. Such absences are considered unexcused. After returning from said trip, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain missed assignments, tests, etc., and he/she will be required to complete those assignments within a reasonable period of time designated by the teacher. If the assignments, tests, etc., are not completed within the designated period of time, the student will receive a “zero” on the missed work.
We are coming upon the holidays and would like to ask for your assistance. Please work with your teachers and Room parents to coordinate treats for the students. We want them to recognize the seasons and focus on the reasons and traditions of the holidays more than focus on food. Therefore, treats/snacks will be scaled down to meet the classroom needs to avoid excess. You guys are kind and generous, but excess food is like throwing money away and I would like to avoid that.
In addition, some activities will be scheduled to allow all parents to participate and some may be limited in scope. Please bear with us we still navigate the COVID-19 pandemic convoluted rules.
Thank you,
Chris Collins
ALL SAINTS DAY MASS - NOVEMBER 1ST
Dear Parents,
We would like to invite all of our students in Pre-Kindergarten through 7th grade to dress as a favorite saint for our All Saints Day Celebration of the Eucharist on Monday, November 1, 2021. Students in grades Pre K 4, K, 1, 2, 3, 6, & 7 will attend Mass at 8:30am. Students in grades 4 and 5 will attend Mass at 10:15am.
If you choose for your child to participate, which is completely optional, we ask that costumes be very simple. An example is a tunic which can easily be placed over the regular uniform, with perhaps a veil or cowl. We want to be a source of reverence and not distraction. A card identifying the saint should be pinned to the costume or worn as a small placard around the neck.
Costumes may be worn (over the regular uniform) to school that morning. Students in costume will be asked to stand in place and be recognized during Mass. All costumes are removed in the classroom after Mass, so please send a bag for the costume to be carried home.
Thank you for considering this option on a wonderful holy day. It adds great joy to our celebration and reminds us all that the purpose of Halloween (All Hallows’ Eve), is that it is the night before we celebrate the saints! It is a reminder that we are not home yet! We are all aiming for eternal life in heaven.
If you have any questions, please contact me at aenright@saintmm.org.
In Christ,
Amy Enright
Religious Activities Coordinator
