Welcome to Kindergarten

It is so hard to believe this will be the last week in April. This is the busiest time of the year for us with several special events in our plans. Mother’s Day Tea, Field Day, the Field Trip to Southwick Zoo, and Kindergarten Graduation will be keeping us very busy.
 

Upcoming News  
 
The Scholastic Book Fair starts today and will continue until Friday, April 26^th. The children will visit the Book Fair on Monday and Tuesday with their class. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, it will be open to families until 3:30pm. The Book Fair is located in the St. Cecilia Church Hall. Our class will be visiting the book fair several times during school throughout this week so the children can browse or purchase books. Plans are to go on Monday afternoon just to browse, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon to purchases. If you wish to send money, please put it in an envelope with your child's name and amount on the front. You can also create a Book Fair eWallet online at scholastic.com. Please see the flyer that was in your child’s folder. If you want to be present when your child is purchasing books, the best time would be after school on Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Friday. We always enjoy the book fair, and we are sure the children will be very excited about it all week.

We are also celebrating the All for Books program during our upcoming Book Fair. One of our Book Fair goals is to ensure as many children as possible have access to and receive books. We are asking families to donate $1.00 or loose change, sign the attached book slip with your name or child’s name, and return it to school. All signed book slips will be displayed at our school.

Eighth Grade Dress Down Day is this Tuesday, April 23^rd.  If your child is dressing down, please send in the coupon or $3.00 in your child’s folder.
 
Just a reminder: Lunch Menu Forms need to be returned no later than Monday, April 22^nd, in order to receive hot lunch for the month of May.
 
On Wednesday, May 8^th, your children will be hosting a Mother’s Day Tea from 9:00am to 10:00am. Please return the response card by Wednesday, May 1^st. We want to make sure every child will have a mother, a grandmother, or someone very special to him or her attending. The children can’t wait to show you all the projects they have been working on!

We are planning a spring field trip to Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon, MA on Tuesday, May 21^st. We want to tell you in advance so that you can clear your schedule if you wish to chaperone. Please remember you need to have an up-to-date BCI in order to attend.

Kindergarten Graduation will take place on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at 9:00 am in the Church Hall, lasting approximately ninety minutes. Any family members you wish to invite are also welcome to attend. At the conclusion of this program, the kindergarten school year is completed and your child is able to go home with you. We are very excited and will be making this a special day for everyone.

Our Good Deed Necklaces on display!


 

The 100th Day of School

 

Thank you for choosing to send your child to St. Cecilia School.




Thank you so much for bringing in mittens, hats, and socks to give to St. Vincent DePaul. We collected 148 hats, mittens, and socks for families in need. The children were very happy to count and take a photo for the newsletter with the huge pile of winter items in front of them. Mrs. Ferreira and I are so proud of everyone!. We are going to have an ice cream party when we come back from Christmas vacation!

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!
