Dear Fifth Grade Families,
I hope everyone is well. Here’s a look at what’s coming up this week, 11/4-11/8. Please make sure to read all important information to avoid questions that are clearly stated on all emails. I would greatly appreciate it! If you missed my email last week, you can check out my school blog; http://www.stanthonygardena.org/fifth-grade/
Deadlines:
Nov 4th -1st trimester Mass reflection (6 reflections for the 1st trimester)

Family Mass- Sunday, Nov 3rd
Tomorrow is our monthly Family Mass. See you at 11am! Our school choir will be singing in the choir loft. If your child wears their Formal Mass uniform, they can get a Free Dress pass. They just need to check in with a staff member after Mass to prove they were present and in their Mass uniform. Passes may be given out by the staff member or their child’s teacher this week.
Blue Mass- Friday Nov 8th
We invite all families who are first responders to come and join us at Mass on Friday at 8am. They will sit in the front with their families and are given a special blessing. They are also invited to join in the hall for a reception with Student Government members, Mrs. Grey and Msgr. Pilato, and their family members. Please let us know by Monday, 11/4, so we can plan accordingly in the Hall.
