This Week's Agenda

November is American Diabetes Month, COPD Awareness Month, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, National Healthy Skin Month, National Hospice Palliative Care Month, National Stomach Cancer Awareness Month, Prematurity Awareness Month, Drowsy Driving Prevention Week (6-12), Get Smart About Antibiotics Week (14-20), Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Awareness Week (20-26), Great American Smokeout (17), Prematurity Awareness Day (17), and National Survivors of Suicide Day (19).

As it is getting colder, if students would like to wear sweatpants, they may as long as they are a solid color (dark color) over the top of their Holy Spirit gym shorts.  Students may also wear a Holy Spirit sweatshirt over the top of their Holy Spirit gym shirt.  The normal gym uniform, regardless of sweatpants and sweatshirts, is to be worn each and every class.

We will have full days of school both Monday and Tuesday.  The only change in the calendar is Tuesday November 22 will be a Mass day, so we will not have Middle School Unified Arts on the 22^nd.  However, the 6-General Music class does have homework that is due by the 22^nd (brainstorm two ideas for each President’s testing event (8 events, so 16 ideas total) that can be used over the next 6-7 months to reach their fourth quarter President’s testing goal).  Students in 6-G.M. may turn in their homework prior to the 22^nd if it is done early.

We will play a Thanksgiving game with grades 2-5.

First grade will continue to work on jump ropes and learn a new movement game.

Kindergarten will continue to work on jump ropes along with underhand throwing and catching with tennis balls.

As always, it is expected that each student is to come to class each day with their gym uniform, have a good attitude, ready to learn, and ready to work.

HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING AND SAFE TRAVELS!
