Exciting events in our classroom: Our Chinese New Year celebration turned out wonderful!  Thanks so much to Mrs. Zifko and Ms. Hnath for all your time and effort.  The students had a wonderful time experiencing the Chinese New Year celebration! I hope you received the note form your child about Parent/Teacher Conferences coming up on February 9.  Please contact the office or me if you need to reschedule. Thanks for all the donations for our Catholic School's Week basket.  We ended up with a lot of things for our silent auction.

Thanks for all your help in supporting our Catholic school!         We are still working on our Native American unit.  I'm excited by how the projects are turning out so far.  Thank you for helping out your child at home if they need it!  I'm interested in finding someone that might be able to help us cook Indian tacos as a part of this unit.  Are any of you knowledgeable about that or do you know someone that is?  Please contact me if you can help! Have a great week! Mrs. Worrall J
