Welcome to Kindergarten

It’s had to believe the field trip to Confreda Farm is already here! The weather looks beautiful but chilly. We will paint the pumpkins we picked at the farm next week on Monday afternoon. What a fun week we will have!
 

Upcoming News

The children do not have to wear their school uniforms to Confreda Farms. We suggest wearing comfortable, warm (if needed) clothing and sneakers, since we will be walking through the farm, riding on the wagon, and choosing our own pumpkin! Please remember to pack a bag lunch. Do not use your lunchboxes because they are too bulky and we want to be able to throw the bag away before we leave. If you are planning to chaperone the field trip, please be in the classroom by 9:15am. The bus departs at 9:30am and returns at 1:30pm. Directions will be available in the classroom when you arrive. 

Thank you to the families that donated deodorant for the St. John Paul II Food Pantry. The entire school collected over 500 items to help people in need! Our class collected 74 deodorant sticks! Wow! We came in first place on the first floor and Grade 8 came in first on the second floor. Congratulations to our Church Buddies! We have been given a dress-down day on Wednesday, October 24^th. Yeah, kindergarten!


You have received a Harvest Mix donation slip in your folder asking you to donate a small treat for our special activity. Please bring in your item on Friday, October 26^th. On Monday afternoon, October 29^th, the class will be snacking on this wonderful mixture. Please let us know if you are unable to donate the item assigned to you. This is one of our favorite activities!
 
Mrs. Ferreira is sending out another Scholastic Book order form with many Thanksgiving and Christmas books available to purchase. In order to receive these books before the holidays, please purchase books online before Wednesday, November 7^th. Thank you.
 
The St. Cecilia Halloween Party will be held on Friday, October 26^thin the Church Hall from 6pm-8pm. This annual event is always a good time filled with fun, music, dancing, and most importantly, plenty of refreshments and goodies. Tickets for the children are $5.00, and adults accompanying children do not need to buy a ticket. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please send in the form and ticket money you received last week no later than Monday, October 22^nd. We can't wait to see everyone in his or her costumes!

We participate in the Scholastic Book Program.  Many of you are very aware of Scholastic Books because you have older children who have attended or who are attending St. Cecilia School. If this is your first experience, we would like to encourage you to consider building your child's library. It is a fairly inexpensive way to purchase books and it also supports our classroom library. When you purchase books, we get  "points," which enable us to receive books for the classroom. Ordering these books is easily done online. The easiest and best method of payment is credit or debit card right on the Scholastic Website. We will receive notification when you place an order and will be watching for your books to arrive at school.  Thank you in advance for supporting an important part of our kindergarten year. Here is an easy link to the website.   www.scholastic.com   Our classroom code is H3CW8.

Please consider joining the A+ School Rewards Program from Stop & Shop. St. Cecilia School earns cash for every purchase you make throughout the year. Just log on to  www.stopandshop.com/aplus  and register online using your Stop & Shop Card. If you registered last year, you do not need to register again this year.  The registration code for St. Cecilia School is #08933.  Please encourage all your family and friends to register too! It is a great way to support our school!

St. Cecilia School will continue to participate in the  Box Tops for Education  program. Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10 cents and they quickly add up to real cash. To help our school, just look for pink Box Tops on products, clip them, and send them to school in a baggie. Please label the baggie  Kindergarten  so we can get credit for our class. The class that brings in the most Box Tops every month will be receiving a free dress down day!  Go Kindergarten!
