St. Brigid School
Molly Carone, Principal
December 7, 2018
Dear Parents,
It's really starting to feel like Christmas around St. Brigid this week! The Christmas tree is up in the office, doors are being decorated, and Christmas songs echo through the building. On Thursday, our select chorus and 2nd graders went Christmas caroling in the neighborhood and it was amazing to see our students bring so much cheer to our neighbors. This just might be the start of a new tradition at St. Brigid!
Next Thursday is our 1st SMART Holiday Showcase. All students in grades 3-8 will either be performing or have their artwork on display at Old St. Patrick's Cathedral. We are hoping for 100% attendance. This is a unique venue for our students to showcase their SMART talents and great exposure for our school. I hope you will consider joining us. If your child is in grades 3-8, please return the participation form sent home. Copies will be available in the main office. If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Abi, Mr. Jack, or Ms. Kelly. Read their special message below!
Don't forget, Breakfast with Santa is this Saturday from 10-1pm. This is a wonderful festive event hosted by the SBFA and of course, Santa!
Enjoy your weekend!
Ms. Carone
Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader
Reading a book together with your child is a great way to encourage a love for reading which in turn, can help motivate your child to read independently! Here are some great Christmas chapter books you can read together.

Influenza Vaccine Requirement Reminder: PreK 3 and PreK 4 Families
The New York City Health Department now requires the influenza vaccine
(1 dose) for all children between the ages of 6 months and 59 months of age who attend a group child care or school-based child care program.
In order for child/children to attend SBS PreK 3 or PreK 4 program, proof of immunization is required similar to other vaccination requirements. Proof of immunization is required to be presented to the school by December 31st. Please give your proof of immunization to Ms. Amalia or Ms. Kathleen at the front desk.
Below are a few additional resources to assist you with completing this new requirement:
- Families can search for vaccination locations by neighborhood or ZIP code by calling 311, visiting nyc.gov/flu or texting flu to 877877.
- Families can ask their health care provider about the flu vaccine. Most insurance plans, including Medicaid, pay for the vaccine.
- Families can visit their nearest pharmacy – many offer flu vaccines to adults and some may vaccinate children as young as two years old.
- Families can visit the Health Department’s immunization clinic or a City-run clinic or hospital. These locations give free or low-cost flu vaccines to all visitors.
