A Note From the Director
This week was all about bears, penguins, and snowmen! PK and TK enjoyed their bear breakfasts. Their bears were quite naughty and made a huge mess! We ice skated to The Ice Skaters Waltz in music, learned the Parable of the Precious Pearl in catechesis, and finished part two of printmaking bugs in art.
Next week we are celebrating Catholic Schools Week! Please see the notes below for dress up days and events. Thank you for supporting our Catholic School!
