2nd Week of School



It was so nice to meet many of you at Parent Orientation last week it seems it always is humid and muggy every year… so I thank you for coming out in the heat.  If you weren’t there I stressed a few points…

·         Sign-up for the Remind 101 app as soon as possible (I will be starting group texting after Labor Day).
·         Check this blog at least 1-2 times a week.
·         E-mail is the best way to contact me.
·         Need chaperones for YMCA Storer Camp.

Also, if didn’t hear Father accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and did it in front of the whole Cabrini School Thursday... He called out everyone who doesn’t go to Sunday mass regularly.

No School Friday (29th) or Monday (Labor Day).
Experiment start September 5th.

First Day of School

Happy first day of school...

Thank you Mrs. Kamen, Mrs. Metzger, & Mrs. Bonsall for being the first parents to go to the Remind 101 app... Yeah!  I will be explaining that more tomorrow and Thursday at Parent Orientation.

Also, I appreciate Mrs. Sollars & Mrs. Choma for already volunteering for 6th Grade Science Camp... you can do that as soon as possible.

As you heard I was not in school today... I had a wedding in Charlevoix for a Wedding yesterday at Castle Farms... unbelievably gorgeous.  I had never heard of it before and what I also never heard of was back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's it was a concert venue where everyone from Van Halen, to Metallica, to Iron Maiden, to AC/DC, to Ozzy, to Ted Nugent, Bon Jovi, Foreigner, Styx, Journey and the list goes on and on preformed there... very cool.  Well, since I knew I wasn't going to be at school many many moons ago over the summer I put together a DVD for today as if I was there doing what I normally would do.  I spent a lot a time on it.  The kids saw it today.  I noticed later I left out a few things but I will go over them tomorrow and be giving out text books as well.

Let's have a great school year!
