Welcome to Kindergarten

 

What a terrific time we had on Thursday at Four Town Farm!  The weather was a little disappointing but we all handled the cold well. The wagon ride was sometimes bumpy, making it fun and exciting. Learning how to wash and package carrots was very interesting. We were able to bring home a pumpkin that we will have fun painting on Wednesday. It turned out to be a great day!



Upcoming News  


As part of our school mission, students are asked to answer the calling of the St. John Paul II Food Pantry. The Food Pantry is in need of personal hygiene items. Between Monday, October 21^st and Friday, October 25^th, kindergarten is asked to donate one or more tubes of toothpaste. Students who bring in at least 3 tubes of toothpaste will receive a dress-down pass! The class that has the best response will receive a special treat! Go kindergarten!

The St. Cecilia Halloween Party will be held on Friday, October 25^th in 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 21^st. We can't wait to see everyone in his or her costumes! 
 
A Harvest Mix donation slip will be in your folder on Monday asking you to donate a small treat for our special activity. Please bring in your item on Wednesday, October 30^th. On Thursday afternoon, October 31^st, 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!

We are a  nut-free classroom. Foods containing  peanuts or tree nuts are  not allowed. No morning snacks or birthday treats can contain these products. Thank you for understanding.

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 with your child's name and grade on it.
