It was wonderful to see so many families at our beautiful Ash Wednesday mass this morning. In class we have been discussing how Lent is a special time for prayer, fasting, and alms giving. I've encouraged the students that if they are giving up something for this Lenten season, it should be a sacrifice that will help them grow closer to God. Please continue these conversations at home.
We will be having Penny Wars for the next few weeks as a way of "alms giving" in place of rice bowls.
Our SJA annual Valentine’s Day Baby Shower is tomorrow. Each year we collect items to donate to mothers in crisis. The students get to dress up and bring in their wrapped gifts to open during the “baby shower”.
Coach Bohman said that students will not change for PE and that their party clothes will be fine for what she has planned.
We will also celebrate Valentine’s Day tomorrow. If students choose to make valentines for the class they need to make one for each student in the class. Students should not bring in any candy or food with their Valentines due to SJA’s wellness policy. We will be enjoying treats during our party at the end of the day.
No Homework Club this week. If students are re-taking a TEST they can come into my room after school on Wednesday until 3:40. If parents are not there to pick them up I will walk them out to daycare at 3:45.

There are a few more volunteer opportunities where we could use your help! Please sign up if you're available.
Mandatory Parent Meeting~ The 4th grade will be going on an overnight field trip to the Lazy W Ranch this spring. I need to meet with the parents to discuss the field trip. The meeting is Tuesday mandatory and will take place March 15th at 6:00 pm in the 4th grade classroom. Please make every effort to attend.
Please use this light homework week to get caught up on any missing work!
Students should have checked out their mystery or fantasy novel today during library for their next book report. Directions for this report went home on Monday and are also posted on my website. Book report is due April 8th.
The 4th grade raised the MOST FUNDS FOR THE SPELL-A-THON! Woo Hoo! Thank you parents for all of your help in this fundraising effort. The 4th grade received a $100 gift certificate to Target for items in the classroom. I think the 4th grade decided we will get some new bean bag chairs! :) 4th grade students will also receive free dress one day soon, information on that to come!
SJA Annual Gala! I hope everyone is planning on attending this year's gala! It is such a fun event, and raises a lot of money for school programs. Please support your child is selling their raffle tickets for this year's gala. Also, consider bringing friends to the gala or sponsoring a table! :)
Enjoy the long 4 day weekend! Safe travels, and see you Tuesday!
