A big change for the second half of the year in our schedule is that Music is now moving to Tuesdays, so 6th grade will have both Music and PE on Tuesdays and additional Social Studies/Religion time on Thursdays. This change is to accommodate our wonderful volunteer woodwind instructors from Westside Music Foundation, Dr. Debby How and Mrs. Emily Senchuk. The students have adapted well to this change, as they always do.
To raise money for the people of Haiti after the devastating earthquake they experienced, Saint Anne is having a "Hats for Haiti" event on Friday, January 22. Students can bring a donation of $1 (or more) to wear a hat at school. All proceeds will go to the Holy Childhood Foundation's efforts to provide resources to the Haitian people.
Next Thursday, January 21 6th grade will have a short field trip for lunch. At 11:30 AM students will walk across Colorado Avenue to Quizno's/La Salsa/Starbucks to buy lunch and eat together in the picnic area. Parent volunteers are welcome to join us if they would like. We will walk back to Saint Anne at 12:30 PM. This field trip is a reward for good behavior and was chosen by the class by vote. Students who purchase lunch at one of the above places should bring $5-10 for their food. If there is a student who would rather bring his/her own lunch to eat with us in the picnic area, that is perfectly fine. Students who do not have the permission slip signed will have to eat with another junior high class at school.
Happy New Year again!
God Bless,
Miss Abel
