From Ms. Coffey:

…The story told of a cap peddler who ran into a problem when he decided to take a rest under a tree inhabited by monkeys. The children loved all the monkey business!!

The children decorated their own caps after reading the story. A good time was had by all! They wore their caps home with pride!

For individual photos, please follow the link: 1st Grade’s Caps for Sale pictures.

The Daughters of St. Paul have the mission of announcing the Gospel through the media. The Sisters explained to the students what the materials are all about and how to order them.

Each class went down to the auditorium to choose materials they wish to have. Your child has made a wish list of titles for you to consider.

Ms. Farinola supervised her Grade 6 during the Book Fair

The order and payment instructions are listed on the “Book Fair Order Form” handed out to your child during the Book Fair. SFA Teachers will collect the orders and distribute them within a few days.
