Dear Parents,
ALL classes (2nd, 3rd, 4th) will have the Religion weekly quiz this Monday based on REVIEW SHEET listing vocabulary words and sample essay questions for each grade. Fourth should include the Joyful Mysteries in their review. Third should include studying the new Apostles' Creed. Second should review the Act of Contrition and the sacraments of Baptism and Reconciliation.
School is closed this Friday and on Thursaday there will be Mass at 9:00. Since the fourth grade is having the NYS Math Exam this week on Tue., Wed., and Turs., I will be meeting with them on Monday only this week. Students should continue to study and do homework however
since the archdiocesan Religion exams are soon approaching.
