When: All of Lent
Where: We will collect diapers (sizes 4, 5, 6 are most needed) in carline, bins located in the entrance to the school, preschool, RE office and the Church entrances.

The student’s Adopt-an-Element posters turned out great! These kiddos are so creative and really think out of the box! They are posted in the hall across from Mrs. Wolf’s room if you would like to see them! We have moved on to Chapter 12 and will be conducting a few labs this week that are all about physical and chemical changes.
