PTG Performance Now Playing: Gold Dust or Bust !

Dear Students and Parents,
The students did a great job at the dress rehearsal for the Young At Heart Club. Keep up the great work! Please continue to practice the songs this week and study your lines and parts at home. Try to perform your part in front of a mirror and practice smiling while singing.
In fact, the PTG performance will be on Thursday, May 6, 2010, at 12:45 in the afternoon and 6 pm in the evening. We hope that all families are able to attend at least one (if not both) performances. Extended family and neighbors of OLA are welcome to attend. Especially consider inviting anyone that might attend OLA school next year. Students need to meet in the 4th grade classroom at 5:40 pm sharp on Thursday night and must be accompanied by an adult. Students are not allowed to be “dropped off and picked up” but must have a parent or guardian present. The students have worked so hard and I am so excited for them to shine at these performances. 4th grade is also performing the Gold Dust or Bust at the Funfair on May 16th at 12:00 noon. So please let me know if any students are unable to come. I really hope they can all attend! Additional information was sent home two weeks ago Friday on the PTG Information Sheet in this homework folder.
This week’s homework has been adjusted to a lighter schedule due to the preparation for the PTG performance. Please pay attention to the schedule! All students need to spend 20 minutes per day reading an AR book in their level, and record it daily on the Reading Log in this folder. Parents should monitor their reading and be sure to record the pages read daily and sign each day. Hopefully, this will increase the amount of time each student is reading.
Also, Friday is our May Crowning of Mary Mass in the Church at 8:15 am. Parents are encouraged to join us in the celebration of the mass and the processional immediately following. Students are welcome to bring flowers to place around our Mary statue. All are welcome to take part in these traditional activities. School will dismiss at noon.
Students are studying a special song to sing as Mary is crowned with flowers. Please study the song this week (also in this folder) and memorize all the words. Students will have a test on Thursday which will count towards their religion and music grade.
Have a great week and please feel free to contact me by sending a note with your child or through my diocesan email: yschmenauer.ourladyoftheassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org .
