Special Guest!
This week, we had a special guest in Pre-K! Captain Dan Lanni (Parent of Juliana '25) of the Upper Darby Police Department came to read to the students. This is a yearly tradition in Pre-K and we all look forward to it! Captain Lanni spoke to the students about being a police officer and the differences between being a police officer in uniform (the ones who catch the bad guys, according to the Pre-K) and being a detective. He then read the class a Dr. Seuss story (one of Detective Lanni's favorites!) The boys and girls loved having him and he promised to come back soon to read some more stories.
Lenten Prayer Service
The Pre-K and Kindergarten students have been working so hard to prepare to lead the school in our Lenten prayer service on Wednesday, March 19, at 8:15 am in the MPR. We hope you are able to join us! Please RSVP here if you plan to attend so we can get an accurate count for seating.
We are looking forward to sharing about the Pre-K students progress at parent/teacher conferences on Thursday, March 20, and Friday, March 21. If you have not already signed up for a time, please do so here.
Our Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 7th graders have organized a snack drive that will run from Monday, March 10 - Monday, March 17. We are collecting non-perishable snacks to give to Murphy's Giving Market, a local food pantry and volunteer organization. A decorated pink box is currently sitting at the front (Shadeland Ave) entrance. Please feel free to drop off any non-perishable snacks there any time you happen to be at Holy Child. If you have any questions, please email mpurnell@holychildacademy.com.
Please have your child prepare three clues to help their classmates guess what object they chose to share. The upcoming show and tell topics are:
- Friday, March 21: NO SCHOOL - conferences
- Friday, March 28: NO SCHOOL - spring break
- Friday, April 4: NO SCHOOL - something to do with spring
