Please remember that next Tuesday, November 26 is the last day of school before Thanksgiving. We feel very blessed at St. Catharine School for our wonderful parish community that supports the school in its mission of developing faith-filled students. We are also thankful for our supportive parents who demonstrate the importance of working together with the realization that it takes parents, teachers, and students to achieve our mission. Thanks also to Home and School who provides transportation to field trips, on-going school needs such as new floors in some of the classrooms, and assisting classroom teachers with their needs in working with students. Thanks for Partners in Education that ensures that field trips, author visits, enrichment opportunities are at no cost to our families. Thanks to our SPICE foundation that supports all students but particularly those who learn differently. Their assistance with classroom supports such as special seating, materials that enhance learning, teacher attendance at workshops that discuss student learning styles, and tutoring are very much appreciated and used on a daily basis at school. Finally, to our teachers, who are so dedicated to their students and to the mission of St. Catharine School. Their on-going instruction, guidance, and collaboration with those on the staff allow me to be very thankful at this special time of year!
Our interim period for Second Quarter is December 6. Any concerns from teachers regarding student performance and progress will be sent home to parents during the week of December 9. Looking forward into December, the Christmas Performance is scheduled for Tuesday, December 17. More details will follow after Thanksgiving vacation.
Our best wishes for a joyful and thankful Thanksgiving vacation!
