We are Catholic Christians. This should be lived by daily classroom behavior. Christian behavior is expected at all times in a Catholic school. Please discuss the importance of not talking while someone else is talking with your child. Too often, children are interupting other students and teachers in class. This is a class goal. Please help us to succeed!

A word list sheet is sent home each day with the same words. Please review them as well daily and return to school.
