This was our most challenging day as a class so far. We had a difficult time walking back from Mass this morning, so we practiced our walk to and from Mass, as well as our Mass behavior.
We also had an incident in the lunch room- many students made very poor choices which lead to a discussion with Mrs. Nikrad. We then wrote apology letters and discussed appropriate lunchroom behavior. I hope students take responsibility for their actions.
Please discuss with your child tonight.
