Parent & Caregiver Literacy Tips
- Read Aloud Together - Share the joy of reading by reading books aloud to your child, regardless of their age.
- Discuss the Story - Engage in conversations about the books you read together to enhance comprehension.
- Consider asking:
- What happened in this story?
- What lesson was the author trying to teach us?
- If you were one of the characters, what action would you change?
- Can you connect any part of the book to something that happened in your life?
Notes from the Nurse
Please make sure that you have filled out a new Health History Form for this current school year. If you have already done this, thank you! If you haven't, you should have received a form for each student in your Family Folder at the Back to School Bash last Wednesday. If you did not attend, your folder should have been sent home with your child, so please check with them. Make sure you fill out these forms and return them as soon as possible. Having this information helps us treat your child with any health issues that arise.
Pet Blessing
On Friday, October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Monica will offer a blessing for animals. Fr. Jack will conduct the blessings this year. Bring your farm animals, service dogs, or your family pets for this special blessing. Blessings will take place in the north parking lot (at the awning entrance) at both 2:45 pm and 6:00 pm. We ask that any animal you bring be under your control as there will likely be an Ark of different animals present. Contact the parish office if you have any questions.
School Families wanting to participate will be permitted to park in the near North lot next to the building and then stay there to gather your children. Your children are permitted to come out and join you for the blessing. Please notify your teacher in advance so we can have a safe release.
