Dear 7th Graders and Parents,

What a wonderful time of year! We have many things going on with activities and field trips. Please check the calendar for updates.

BOOK FAIR this week

Students will be visiting the annual book fair during their library time on Thursday, Dec 7.

Road Trip Survey (yellow paper)

Please read, sign, and return the survey sent home Friday about our May Road Trip.

Art & Band Field Trips

Please note that students will be responsible for making up their missed work due to school field trips. I will be working with everyone to make sure their assignments are ready for them, and due dates accommodations.

Holiday Break

Please let me know if you are planning to start your holiday break early and I can get assignments ready.

Reconciliation

Students will be attending reconciliation on Thursday prior to our Holy Day of Obligation on Friday.

Martha’s Place Stocking

Our Student Council, ICRS students, and Sacred Hearts in LaConner are partnering together to spread Christmas Cheer to the residents of Martha’s Place.  Last week, students colored Christmas pictures and cut snowflakes for the resident’s apartments.  This week, we will be making paper chains and meeting with our Mass Buddy Classes to create prayers and name tags for stockings.

If students or families would like to donate small items for stockings you are welcomed, but not obligated. This is only if your student would like to add something, such as a candy cane, a note of encouragement, an ornament, hard candy, fun pen, etc.  Items that you may already have at home.   Thank you, ICRS StuCo

This Week’s Reminders:

Reading – We are reading our mystery novels independently. We have divided the book into four quadrants with Quad Three reading is due tomorrow with booklet notes completed and Quadrant Three summary due on Wednesday to the google classroom.  Most reading will be done outside of class.

Religion

HAPPY ADVENT!  This week we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Mary.  Mass is on Friday at 9:30 at Immaculate Conception Church.  It is a holy day of obligation.  Seventh graders are taking a closer look at the Gospels and the evangelists.  They will create an Evangelist Shield with all the pertinent information about Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Blessings,

Mrs. Reichlin
