The classroom Easter Egg hunt scheduled tomorrow will happen when Miss.Sturgeon is feeling better and in class, and not with a supply teacher.

Stay tuned for Education Week events, coming up soon (May 6th to 10th)

Let's Talk Science will be working with the grade 5 students on May 2nd with tasks related to building stable structures and forces acting on bridges.

Father Rick will be listening to any missed Confessions for grade 5 students on April 30th at 1:00pm.

Yearbook

From our school:

"We are pleased to announce that St. Martin de Porres will have a yearbook once again for the 2018-2019 school year.These yearbooks make a wonderful keepsake for your child's first years in Kindergarten right up to their graduating year in grade 6. Every class and every student will be featured. Tons of activities, dress up days, events and all of our awesome clubs and sports teams. It even has a page for autographs. We were lucky to get an extremely fair and low cost of only $17 per book. You don't want to miss out on this amazing opportunity to have your child's best school memories captured in time.

Yearbooks are available through school cash online and will be sent home with your child at the end of the year."

You will have until Monday, May 6, 2019 to get one. Hurry, time runs out fast!

If you have any questions or would like to share any pictures, please feel free to email Michelle Jurica at stmdp.yearbook@gmail.com

Bus Cancel Day

School buses and vans are cancelled today due to freezing rain. Material in class will be review work. Please try your Confession Prep page from home.

Reconciliation

Students will be bringing an Examination of Conscience Prep/Helper sheet to guide them with their Confession on Tuesday. Please help your child (if they ask), to prepare their hearts for what they wish to talk about with Father Rick. Some students prefer to have a small list of things carried with them (no names on the page) in case they get nervous as well as holding their Act of Contrition prayer.

Please refer to the helper sheets the students will be bringing home Monday evening. They are also provided in the HOMEWORK section of this blog.
