Grandparents’ Day is Tomorrow, February 3rd

This is just a reminder that we are asking all grandparents and special friends to gather at 8:30 in the Parish Hall. They will be served a light breakfast and some coffee and welcomed to our school. From there grandparents will visit classrooms and eventually return to the hall for some presentations from our students. We will end the day with our All School mass at 11:15 in the church. We hope you can join us tomorrow!

Classes are hard at work on collecting donations for their class baskets! The Lego basket in 2nd grad is coming together quickly and 4th grade is working on a staycation basket with a stay at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club?! These are going to be too good to pass up!! Also, don’t forget to bid on Teacher Features! Teachers are determining their activities now and I am certain there will be lots of students wanting to participate in all the fun they have in store!!
Please see the attached flyers for more information! Come jump and play with SMA!
