IT’S GETTING COLDER!!! Please make sure your child brings a jacket to school each day – sometimes it may not seem too cold, but out on the playground it can be pretty nippy!

In celebration of All Saints, students are invited to dress as their favorite saint that day. If they do, they will receive a BONUS DRESS DOWN PASS to be used at a later date. You may still dress down if you don’t dress as a saint, but if not dressed as a saint, you will not receive the bonus pass.
