Dear Parents,
Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all our veterans for your service. We started today with a flag ceremony outside at our flag pole. After the pledge, we continued with a short prayer service. We are so blessed at St. Francis of Assisi School to have the privileged to participate in this type of ceremony.
Thank you to Isaac Kretz and Theodore Antoniou for purchasing books to contribute to our school library. We have had to “retire” some of the paperback books due to being overly “loved”. It’s so nice to get new books to replace the retirees.
We are currently experiencing a challenge in getting parent drivers for our field trip on Tuesday, November 27. At this time we have 10 children for whom we do not have cars. If we do not get more drivers, preferably VIRTUS approved, we will have to cancel our field trip.
The Tiny Tots Concert at Forest Park is an opportunity for students to learn about the working of an orchestra while enjoying the fun and familiar music. After the concert, the students are allowed to meet the musicians and look at the various instruments up close. This sets the groundwork for those students who might be considering joining band next year in fourth grade.
If possible, please consider joining our class as a chaperone and driver on November 27. If you are not VIRTUS qualified you can still drive your own child.
I look forward to meeting with many of you today to discuss your child’s progress in third grade.
Sincerely,
Rita Corcoran Davis
