Welcome to Kindergarten

Many thoughts and feelings are going through our minds as we write this last Kindergarten Times. It is so hard to believe this school year is almost over. The saying goes, “Time flies when you are having fun!”  This was very true for us this year, thanks to everyone! The support and cooperation from all of you was overwhelming. Any teacher would tell you that their job is made easier and more enjoyable with families like you!

When we think back to the first week of school, we can remember how your children entered the room. So many questions were asked. “What are we doing next?” “Where are we going?” As the weeks passed, it was amazing to see the progress everyone was making. The schedule became routine, and we all became very comfortable with each other. Throughout this year, the academic growth and maturity we witnessed was truly amazing. The excitement and enjoyment we experienced when your child began to read and write was incredible. This class worked very hard and their success is well deserved. We are so proud of every child, as we’re sure you are as well!
 
Mrs. Ferreira and I would like to sincerely thank you for making this year so memorable. Your children will always have a place in our hearts. Have a great summer vacation and good luck in first grade!



Upcoming News  
 
 
Please keep kindergarten in mind when doing your spring-cleaning. It would be so helpful to us if anyone could donate any old trinkets, small toys, pencils, etc. to our Treasure Chest that would interest the children in kindergarten next year. Thank you for thinking about us!

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!
