Welcome to Kindergarten

It’s so nice to see spring is on the way! Everyone is ready for a new season. Sunshine and warmer weather will be a pleasant change. St. Patrick’s Day and Easter activities will be keeping us busy for the next few weeks!
 

Upcoming News  

For the next two weeks during afternoon centers, we will be making Easter bags. We are asking for donations to fill these bags. If everyone would bring in a bag of Peanut-Free Easter Candy or a little Easter treat such as a pencil, eraser, etc., it would be greatly appreciated. Please provide 17 of each item so every bag will have the same number of goodies. Thank you for your help in advance!
 
We Help Our Community, as part of our Lenten observance, begins on Monday, March 23^rd and concludes on Friday, March 27^th.  Kindergarten is asked to donate dish soap for our St. John Paul II Food Pantry. In these hard times people can use a little extra help. Thank you for your great support in caring for others!
 
Please continue to send in your good deed coupons. There are four weeks left until Holy Thursday. Each coupon is worth a bead for their “good deed necklace.”
 
Operation Rice Bowl is underway! During the season of Lent, please donate your loose change to those in need. Place the change in the Rice Bowls you received and return it to school on Holy Thursday. Thank you so much for helping!
 
We will be attending the Stations of the Cross on Friday afternoon. For many children, this Lenten Season is the first time they have experienced the Stations of the Cross. They will be paired up with their 8^th Grade Church Buddies.
 
On Friday evening, March 20^th, at 7:00pm and Saturday evening, March 21^st, at 7:00pm, the Drama Club will present Alice in Wonderland in the Church Hall. Please join them for an evening of fun and help support the Drama Club. Our class will be seeing the dress rehearsal on Friday morning. We are all looking forward to this performance!

If your child is ordering hot lunch in April, please send in the form and payment by Friday, March 22^nd.

We are planning a spring field trip to Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon, MA on Tuesday, May 19^th. We want to tell you in advance so that you can clear your schedule if you wish to chaperone. The cost of this trip is $20.00 per student and $20.00 per chaperone. We are asking chaperones to take their own vehicle so everyone will be able to join us. Car-pooling is encouraged. Please remember you need to have an up to date BCI in order to attend. More detailed information and forms will be sent home soon.

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.

St. Cecilia School is participating in a fundraising program called Scrip Pro. It really is an easy, convenient way to shop. If you usually purchase gift cards as gifts, consider purchasing gift certificates through this program. For every gift certificate you buy, a percentage of the sale goes to St. Cecilia School. For all details, please refer to the Scrip Pro flyer. This definitely is a win/win situation for everyone.

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.
