Dear 2nd Grade Parents,

Thank you all for bringing your child to the retreat on Saturday.  It was a packed day full of fun.  I’m especially proud of all the volunteers of our parents who stayed and helped the children learn about their next Sacrament which is coming very soon.

Now we need your help with our 2^nd grade AUCTION BASKET.  They are looking a little skimpy right now.  Please donate a fun item by Friday.  Also, sorry to be asking for more, but your children have been going through a box of tissues a day.  So donations of tissues and cleaning wipes for the desks are also needed. 
In Religion we are learning about the 2^nd part of the Mass.  Liturgy of the Eucharist.  It starts with us bringing our human-made gifts up  to the altar.  And how our gifts will be changed into the Body and Blood of Christ.

Now that we have started March …. Dates to mark on your calendar:

• March 16: Professional Development Day for teachers. No school for students.
