NAN-O-GRAM
Where has this month gone!
I think we are all overly consumed with warmth here at school. The kids have been really great with not going out to recess as usual, and they understand when its too cold outside it’s unsafe and dangerous to their health. Thanks to you for bundling them up so well.
The sixth graders are off to
Keep the kids, their families and their teachers in your prayers, and a huge chunk of gratitude to Mrs. Kaiser, Mrs. Fitzpatrick and Kelsey Seipel for pulling this all together and remaining sane at the same time! Good luck!
Keep reading to your terrific kids!

LAST CHANCE!!!
SAFE
ENVIRONMENT TRAINING SESSION TONIGHT @
National Catholic Schools Week
Holy Spirit
Catholic School is excited to celebrate National Catholic Schools Week, January
27th through February 2. We kick off the week with an All School
Mass this Sunday morning at the
The focus
of the week is to spotlight Catholic school students, highlighting the impact
and accomplishments these students have throughout the world, our nation, their
community, within their families and in their school setting. The staff,
teachers, students, parishioners and supporters of Holy Spirit have planned
multiple activities. For example, this year we plan to decorate windows, host a
spaghetti luncheon for ‘someone special’ on Wednesday, Mass on Friday morning
followed by burning of the palms for Ash Wednesday, a school thank you mural
for the hall, thank you cards for those who contribute so much to our school,
in-class spelling and religion ‘bees’, intergrade
reading
buddy activities, and much more.
Ask your child what their class is planning!
St. Vincent
de Paul has a need for used books. We would like to gather, as a school, those
genres and themes that are particularly requested: religion, westerns,
cookbooks, history, children’s literature, and self-help books. So rummage
through those dusty books shelves and give to a most worthy organization.
Collection boxes will be in the school hall.
We are very
proud of our children and we invite all to help us celebrate this year’s
theme…Catholic Schools Light the Way!
Here is a
day-to-day list of activities:
Sunday - School Mass at
Monday – Drop Everything And
Read afternoon.
Reservations for
“Special Person Lunch Day” are due.
Tuesday – Crazy Hat Day
Wednesday – Stuffed Animal Day (only 1 per student)
“Bring a Special Person to Lunch Day” is
an opportunity for your child to bring a special person to lunch –
grandparents, aunts, uncles, a special adult friend, etc. Unfortunately, due to the limited space in
our lunchroom we ask that each child invite only two people at the very
most. Lunch for grades K-2 begins at
Thursday – Wacky Hair Day.
Friday – Students will attend Mass with Fr. Ben at
as we prepare for Ash Wednesday.
In the afternoon the students
will have Pay Off for the month of January.
It was planned to have board game day, but due to the students having to
spend so much time in the classrooms due to the cold, each classroom may have a
different activity going on. Please
check with your child next week, to see what activity they will be doing. We promise it will be something special and
different from the everyday school day!
Set up for the school auction begins at
Saturday – Set up continues for the auction beginning
at
Sunday – Clean up from the auction begins at
SKIING
Tomorrow,
January 25, the 4th & 5th grade students and teachers
will be going cross country skiing – pray for warmer temperatures but the
teachers are saying they are going! They
will leave the school at
Then beginning the next
Wednesday, Feb. 5 the sixth grade students will begin taking downhill ski
lessons at Pebble Creek for the next four Wednesdays.
Both of these activities are
sponsored by the City of Pocatello Park & Recreation Dept. These are both great opportunities for the
students to learn these healthy activities!
PALMS
There’s still time to bring in your Palms
from last year so that they can be burned and used for this year’s distribution
on Ash Wednesday. A collection vase is
in the school hallway.
BABY, IT’S
COLD OUT THERE!!

has appropriate outdoor clothing for these cold, cold days – hats, mittens,
