HO! HO! HO! Santa Workshop is at St. Linus School this week! Our class will do a preview of all there is to offer on Monday. If you would like your child to purchase gifts for family members at the Workshop, please send money to school on Thursday.

Don't forget about our Christmas Concert on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in Church. Speaking parts should be practiced over the weekend and children should come to school in their "Sunday best on Tuesday." We hope you can join us for this festive event!

On Wednesday we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadaloupe with an all-school Mass. You are always invited to join us.

As a reminder, there is NO after school tutoring on Thursday, due to a monthly NJHS meeting.

On Friday, the Ladies Guild serves lunch from Bourbon Street, if pre-ordered, and the FTC presents the movie Elf at 7 pm.

In Math, we are working to complete our chapter on Data and Graphs. Once we finish, we will begin exploring the concept of regrouping. It is important to have a good grasp on basic addition and subtraction facts to be successful, so please keep practicing at home.
