Good afternoon!

I hope you all had a great day! It supposed to be another great weekend so I hope all of you are able to enjoy it!

If you are looking to order specific uniform items well now is the time. Some of the money raised from uniform sales will go towards efforts to help the victims of the Nepal earthquake.

Due to the gym lockers being used for storage, we have decided that the students will be aloud to wear their gym uniforms on Mondays and Wednesdays only.

The Spelling Bee lists have been sent home. Please ensure your child begins practicing and that the list stays in their agendas. There is one set of words for the grade 3’s and one set for the grade 4’s. We will be choosing our top 5 from each grade (both grade 3 classes combined) the last week of May. The top 5 from each grade will participate in the St. Jude’s Academy annual Spelling Bee on Friday June 5, beginning at 9:00 am. Please note that there will be different words on June 5. The list sent home is just to help them practice.

A few important reminders/important dates

Just a reminder that students are now able to wear their summer uniform!

Please be sure to send your child with baseball hats or sun hats and sunscreen! Also please be sure to send in water bottles…with all the running around they do they get very hot and thirsty!

We are once again out of Kleenex and Lysol Wipes. If you could please bring some in that would be great!

 Today we created a special art activity for some specials ladies. We were also lucky enough to view the Grade 6’s Exhibition, which is a 6-week project they have been working on. After lunch we did our lesson 25 spelling test. During our UOI period the students practiced their skit while others finished Shriek the Musical.

Our art activity! 

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers! May you have a wonderful weekend!
