St. Francis’ Little Lambs Newsletter
October 2017
Welcome to Fall! We’ve had a great first month of school! The children are all getting familiar with their new school routines. The children are learning about the seasons and the colors of the changing leaves. We will also be talking about St. Francis and celebrating his feast day this month. The children will learn he is the important person their school is named after and that he loved animals and helping the poor.
Wishing you and your family many fall blessings!
Mrs. Martinson
Music Class started on Wed. Sept.27th. Mr. Kris from Young Music Company will be here every Wednesday.
Snacks, Lunches & Water: Please pack the amount of food that you want your child to eat and pack a spoon/fork if they need one. You may bring a labeled water bottle so we can make sure that students are drinking enough water throughout the whole day.
