This
has been a very musical week at Immaculate Heart of Mary School. Our school
bands and choirs performed in the Rotary Music Festival yesterday. In addition,
many of our students are taking part in the festival. Good luck to all
participants.
On
Tuesday we had a theme day for St. Patrick’s Day. Our school was a sea of
green! There were even green faces! Our St. Patrick’s Day Family Social and Pot
Luck Dinner is this Sunday from 4 to 6 pm.
Our
milk spirit week was a huge success! There were class broadcasts each day. We
had a lot of fun at the moo off on Thursday. All the classes participated by
performing their best “moo” sounds. Afterwards, we enjoyed some milk and
cookies. Thanks to our tweeting about
milk spirit week, our school won a prize from the School Milk Foundation. We
will receive free milk for the whole school.
Our Apple A Day Tickets are due this week! The
draws start on Wednesday, March 25! Make sure to get your tickets to get your
name in for the seven days of awesome prizes! Prizes include Ipod touches, an
Apple TV, an Ipad mini, Ipads and an 11 inch Macbook Air computer. Tickets are
on sale now for $20 each. Each ticket sold will be in the draw for all seven
prizes. There will be prizes for the students who sell the most tickets. If our
school sells all 2,032 tickets we will have a skating party to celebrate. Get your tickets today!
