An Elephant Always Remembers...
We do not have school on Monday, Feb. 16 due to the built-in snow day. Do you want to build a snowman??? Looks like we may get the chance!
The ladies from the Tri Kappa sorority will be here on Tuesday at 12:45 to put on their annual Pioneer Program for the 4th graders. This is a fun and educational simulation activity to get the 4th graders thinking about life as a pioneer in Indiana.
We will have a combined mass this Wednesday at 9:00 with PBS. This is Ash Wednesday. We are excited that the 3rd/4th graders from PBS will be staying after mass for some team building activities and a pizza lunch. If your child does not wish to eat pizza for lunch, please send a sack lunch on Wednesday.
No Bible verse this week with the shortened week.
