The fifth graders are busy preparing the Thanksgiving celebration prayer service for Tuesday morning. Please join us for this very beautiful event. Thank you for returning the slip to inform us whether your child will be able to participate in the Thursday morning mass on Thanksgiving.

If your child is participating in the Thursday Thanksgiving Mass please be there by 8:40 am since their play starts exactly at nine o'clock. Students are to wear their school uniforms for the mass.

Our prayer service is at 10:45am on Tuesday. I hope that you can join us.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
