Dear Parents:

1.  OPEN HOUSE:  Open House is this Sunday, January 31.  We will begin at 9:30 a.m. with our Family Mass at Church of the Nativity and continue at school with the Open House from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.  The Open House is for all current students and parents and for prospective families. Please stop by Grade 5 and Grade 8 to see our NEW Smartboards in action.  Our Computer Lab also has new computers to see.  Art in Action will be displayed in the classrooms.   Please invite any friends, neighbors, or relatives who may be interested in having their children attend Nativity School.  Applications for Fall 2010 are available online at www.nativityschool.com under the Admissions tab or by calling the school office, 325-7304.  

2NO BULLY WORKSHOP:   Soul Shoppe presented the second of three workshops entitled, "Free To Be Me - Keeping Peace in a Bully Free Community," on Monday.  The students were taught what to do when bullying occurs at school, learned three strategies to prevent bullying (Before, During & After), how to create a community where everyone does their part and they practiced intervention skills.  Three sessions were held for the different grade levels:  K-3, 4-6 and 7-8.  It was a very worthwhile event with insightful interaction and participation by the children.

3SOS YARD DUTY:  We are in desperate need of Yard Duty volunteers, especially for Wednesday and Thursday from 12:00-1:00 p.m.  Your help will be greatly appreciated because the safety of the children while at play during lunch recess is important to everyone.  Please contact Mrs. Cassidy, 325-7304, if you will be able to  help .
