MARCH NEWS 2010
TERRA NOVA TESTING
Testing for grades K-7 will be administered from March 1st through March 12th. The preparation you can help with is to be sure that the children have plenty of rest (at least 8 hours of sleep) and eat three balanced meals daily. Encourage your children to listen carefully to the teacher as the directions are given and to do the best they can.
If your child misses part of the test due to illness, we will do our best to have him/her make it up. Please understand that if several sections are missed, it may be impossible to make up; and therefore, the test may not be sent in for scoring.
The students should come prepared each day with two or three sharpened number 2 pencils.
CONFIRMATION
We ask for prayers for our eighth graders. They have been preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation that will take place March 25th. Since the beginning of this school year, they have been doing service hours, as well as, keeping up with their studies. On March 16th they will enjoy the experience of the Confirmation Retreat.
CONGRATULATIONS
Our seventh and eighth grade students participated in an Americanism essay competition sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. Three of the students had winning essays, and the first place essay has been sent on to the Third District Americanism Chairman for further competition. The winners are: 1st prize – David Stahl, grade 8; 2nd prize – Andrew Navarro, grade 7; 3rd prize – Tiffany Rivera, grade 8. Annunciata is proud of all of you!
FAMILY AND SCHOOL NEWS
The two recent events they were sponsored through the Family and School Organization were quite successful. Besides being a fun filled evening with good food, the production of “Til Death Do Us Part” realized a profit was $900. Our Candy Sale brought in a profit of $6,000. Thanks to all the hard work and energy of the Family and School group, as well as, all of you who bought tickets for the play or sold candy. The financial gain is great, but does not compare to the cooperation from all of the school and parish families. Winners of the Candy Sale contest are: 1st place—Ricardo Medina (24 cases) won the $350 in tuition; 2nd place—Richard Rebeles (21cases) won $100; 3rd place—Robert Flores (15 cases) won $50. Congratulations!
HELP ME UNDERSTAND?
Throughout this year I have been trying to encourage you to use the morning drop off plan on the parking lot. I just cannot seem to understand why you would have your children climb through the snow and walk in areas that were not shoveled when they could walk on salted and shoveled paths that were purposely cleaned for the ease of walking to the building? It’s also a mystery, why you would park the cars on the very busy 112th Street to drop off children or jay-walk. Many cars just don’t stop on 112th. It’s mind-boggling!!! Please consider using the safest plan to drop off children in the morning. Use the Avenue H driveway to enter and the Avenue G driveway to exit. If the children exit the cars on the passenger side they NEVER WILL BE IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE. If you do park the car to walk your children to the building, PLEASE CROSS AT THE CORNERS (WE HAVE A CROSSING GUARD).
BE SAFE NOT SORRY!!!
