From the Principal’s Desk
Good afternoon! Virtue of the Week:
I hope the children enjoyed the snow day yesterday. I am sorry that I
couldn’t report it earlier, but I received the message about the road Foresight
conditions at 6 AM. I immediately sent the Remind 101 message, posted
on Facebook and on nbc25, abc12 and wnem5. To sign in to receive * The habit of praying,
Remind 101 messages, go to https://www.remind.com/join/bfce863
then thinking, before
I hope you got the Remind 101 message that tonight’s meeting with Fr.
acting. *
Christian has been cancelled. He will inform us of the new date soon.
Though many schools are taking Monday, January 17 off (Martin Luther
King’s Day), St. Elizabeth Area Catholic School is in session. Please,
ensure that the children dress warmly to be able to play outside weather
permitting. This includes snow boots, gloves, and if possible, snow pants.
Sometimes they do not bring a sweater under the jacket. They love playing
outside but they feel cold when not wearing appropriate outside clothing.
The Home & School meeting that was cancelled on Tuesday will be
rescheduled. The date has to be determined. We will keep you posted. I
received a notification from the Michigan Health Department regarding
quarantine. “Students, teachers & staff who test positive for COVID-19
and/or display COVID-19 symptoms should isolate regardless of
vaccination status: o If asymptomatic, monitor for symptoms for days 0 –
10; and o Isolate at home for days 0 – 5 (day “0” is day symptoms begin or
day test was taken for those without symptoms); and o If symptoms have
improved or no symptoms developed, return to school, while wearing a
well-fitted mask, for days 6 -10; or o Stay home for days 0 - 10 if
unwilling/unable to wear a mask. If you have a fever, stay home until you
are fever free for a period of 24 hours without the use of fever reducing
medications.
Join me in kindergarten Aria Ross’s prayer:
Dear God,
I want Gregor’s finger to feel better and my mom to drive safe. Amen.
We ask that you add 8 th grader Quinn Tucker to your prayers as she
mourns the death of her dad whose
funeral is today. May Shane rest in peace and may Quinn find comfort in
the love of her friends and
family.
Have a great weekend!

Due to the day off on Thursday, we will be taking our vocabulary quiz on Monday. Please make sure, your child studies for the quiz. We started reading Nothing But the Truth by Avi in reading today. When we finish, the students will be able to take an AR test on the book. While reading, we will also be doing various worksheets to make sure that they understand what the book is about. We are almost done with our social studies chapter, and we will be having a test next week. They spent this week working very hard on a project about a problem that the school and/or community is facing. They then presented it to Father Christian via a video that I sent to him. I am very proud of the work that they all put into it.
