Charger Check-In
February 9, 2024
A Note from Ms. Owens
In school, we are busily reparing for the arrival of Lent. We will celebrate the with the parish's Lenten theme - "One Bread, One Body." Students are decorating alleluias that will be buried at mass this weekend or in their classrooms on Monday or Tuesday. On Tuesday morning, the school community will gather for our traditional burning of old palms. And on Wednesday, we will attend a prayer service to receive ashes on Ash Wednesday.
The first Tuesday session of this month's Beyond the Books (cancelled due to remote learning on January 23) has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 13.
This month, I have two resources, both from Common Sense Media. Both focus on helping more children develop an enjoyment of reading - How to Raise a Reader: Eight Tips for Getting Your Kids Hooked on Books and 50 Books All Kids Should Read Before They're 12.
