So here we go......
Spring Break is during Holy Week. sigh. At the end of this email, I have attached a Holy Week activity book that you are welcome to use in your class if you think it's appropriate. I am attaching this to the parent email as well. If you would like me to print these for your class, just let me know.
VBS - besides the many volunteers we need for VBS June 5 - 9, we need 2 more Core Team ADULT members.....one to turn on the VBS Music video and help the kids learn the songs and dance moves each day. (You do not have to be skilled to do this, just an adult who can have fun with kids-talent is a bonus) and one more ADULT to keep an eye on the Daughters of Immaculata who are keeping track of the kids under age 4 of the volunteers. Are there some parents that you could personally invite to help? It's a great way to engage others in our parish!
2nd grade Catechists:
Besides the Mass Kits shown in my simple and boring graphic below, I have placed gluten free crackers on the shelf for you to practice reception of Holy Communion with the kids. They do have sesame in them so be careful with those that have food allergies.
First Holy Communion Retreat on April 22 from 9 - noon.
I could really use at least 2 more helpers on this day....mostly to help with traffic flow, craft prep/cleanup, room prep and set up, and/or hospitality at the reception around 11:30. If you do not have a 2nd grader, please let me know if you can help or know someone (Grandma?) who can. Thanks!
