1B Week of Nov. 2
Published by Mrs. McMahon (1B) October 31st, 2009 in Announcements.
The children did an outstanding job of saying their speeches and behaving as Saints last week. Thanks to the many hands that went into making the Liturgy a great success. Special thanks goes to the Room Moms Mrs. Boro, Mrs. Benish, Mrs. Kuch and Mrs. Burn and to Mrs. Cooney for helping coordinate the Quilt Project and other details. Thank you to Mrs. Testin, and Mrs. Etheridge for decorating the altar. Thank you to Mr. Nawrocki for pictures. Also, our appreciation and thanks goes to the parents involved in purchasing supplies for the party and helping make the party a memorable event. I heard many children express that “This was the best day ever!”
