St. Catherine February Newsletter
February 2022
Principal's Message
Well, January has come and gone. What a busy, fun-filled month!
Thank you to all families who supported our School Council reverse bottle drive at the beginning of January. Your support and donations help support programs and events for our students. Our School Council does amazing things for our school. Some examples are: raising money for our Outdoor Learning space, funding classroom activities and events, staff appreciation events, bringing in special presentations and the list goes on…
Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in our Literacy Week activities. Students had some fun throughout the week! We strongly believe that literacy begins at home. Please take a few minutes each day to read with your children! I know that life can be busy and hectic, some of my favorite times are spent reading with my children.
As we look ahead to February, it looks to be another busy month! We begin the month with Groundhog Day and Valentine’s Day. Please be aware of Covid protocols around Valentine’s Day. Your child’s teacher will email you with more information.
During the week of February 14th-18th we welcome Trickster Theatre into our school. Artists will be working with classes to create a production at the end of the week. We will be recording the final production to share with our families. Our theme for the week is Caring for the Vulnerable. I am so excited to see what our students create during this week!!!!
On February 23rd we will recognize and celebrate Pink Shirt Day. This year, we held our second design contest. The design of the winner is featured on our school Pink Shirts. All students and families are encouraged to wear a pink shirt on this day in an effort to raise awareness about bullying and to foster positive self-esteem in children.
Once again, I would like to thank families for their continued support and understanding as we navigate through this pandemic. We truly appreciate all that you do to keep our students safe and healthy.
Have a great month!
Mrs. LaCroix
