Dear Fifth Grade Parents,

            Well September has surely flown by!  We are now well into our school year, and the students have adjusted nicely to the class rules and routines. In math, students have been introduced to decimals and will continue to work with them for the next few weeks.  In science, we have been discussing matter, a topic that will remain with us into our next two chapters. 

October is an exciting time here at St. Ann School.  This past weekend was Comic Con, which was a huge success! There is no school for Columbus Day, Monday, October 10. October 12, is Pocketbook Bingo. Progress Reports will be going out October 13. It is also a half day with an 11:00 am dismissal. This means we are halfway to our first report card!  October 14 is the Color Run at South Beach. There is no school October 20 due to Confirmation. There is a clothing drive October 22 from 9am-2pm.  October 27 is the Halloween party for grades 2-8, 6:00pm-9:00pm. There is aftercare until 4:00 that day. Students can wear their Halloween costumes on Monday, October 31. On this day, there will be a Trunk-or-Treat activity and cupcake sale.
