3B Newsletter Edition 28

Good afternoon,
Happy Mother’s Day! This may not be the sunniest of days, but I hope you are spending some quality time doing whatever you desire today. This is an exciting week, because we have mass with our 6th grade partners on Wednesday at 8:30. You are welcome to attend if you would like. Then, on Thursday we get to work on a service project for mission day! This is a beautiful tradition that was started a few years ago and it’s so wonderful to see SPSL students giving back to the community around us! Our field trip to Fontenelle Forest will be on Monday, May 16th. Please sign and return the permission slip and $12 by this Tuesday the 10th. Lastly, all library books need to be returned this week so Mrs. Fosco can start taking inventory of the library next week.

Stay happy healthy and holy,
Mrs. Milstead
