| Dear Parents: |
|
1. PARENT TEACHER
CONFERENCES: As teachers we are partners with our parents in the
education and well being of our students. Together this week we
share our children's progress here at Nativity. It is most
important that parents attend scheduled conference meetings to remind
our students of the caring relationship we share for them.
We are extremely grateful to Mrs. Tameilau for providing the faculty
with a delicious luncheon that certainly fortified us during
Parent-Teacher Conference Week.

KEPLER'S BOOK FAIR: The Kepler's book fair was a great
success! Thank you to Mrs. Christa Enns and her many volunteer
helpers. We are happy to see so many literature enthusiasts enjoy
great books, most especially our students. The book fair was
greatly appreciated and attended by our community. Please
remember throughout the year when you shop at Kepler's to mention
Nativity School and Kepler's will donate 10% of the total sale to our
school. We raised an amazing $1,468.74.
