Homeroom News:
It was great to meet with all of you who were at Parent-Teacher Conferences! If you weren't able to grab a spot and would like to check in, just shoot me a message.
We're so proud of our 8th grade class! They were fantastic as the choir last week - so much so that they've been recruited again! They'll serve as the choir on January 20 as well (I'll send a reminder ahead of that). Also, many students will be helping out with readings and artwork at our Veterans' Day Mass on Wednesday, November 11. If you can attend, we'd love to see you!
The junior high dance is this week! It's scheduled for Friday, November 13 and the cost is $10. If your child would like to go, and you need an extra form, please let me know. Sponsored by the MHR Parent Club, and forms/fee can be returned to school. Students should wear their Sunday best! If you need another form, just shoot me an email
Please keep an eye on the guidelines for students' required 20 hours of volunteer service. The School of Religion would like at least two reflection forms completed by December 7, so between now and then I can help students get them written. If you have any questions about the types of service hours that are required, feel free to reach out!
The next chance for group service projet hours will be at the EP food pantry on Saturday, November 21, from 9:30a-10:30a. You can sign your child up at this SignUpGenius link.
