Mardi Gras Celebration
The annual Mardi Gras celebration was held on Tuesday, February 16th in an adapted form.
The family pancake feed was not able to be held, but students were able to enjoy other Fat
Tuesday treats provided by parents and learn about Mardi Gras traditions. The parade,
noise makers and all, took place around the block where parents joined in the festivities.
The students always enjoy this fun and loud celebration before moving into the more quiet
and prayerful time of Lent.
Registration for current families is now
underway. Packets went home with
oldest children on Friday February 5th.
Please send your registration back as
soon as possible. If you have a younger
child that you would like to register in
Pre-K or K, please include them in your
registration.

interested in registering for the 2021-
2022 school year need to call the
school office
(632-6918) and schedule an
appointment.
Valentine Parties
Creativity flowed throughout the building as a multitude of awesome Valentine boxes and sacks rolled into the classrooms
for the annual class Valentine parties. Held a few days early (Feb. 11th) due to winter break, the students enjoyed games
and treats provided by classroom parents. Of course, the highlight of
the event was the opening of Valentine messages sent by good friends.
Thanks to all parents who helped to make our holiday parties a huge
success this year.

What’s Happening at St. Agnes School………...
First Grade Class
By Sharon Bird
On January 29, we celebrated the 100th day of school. What an exciting day for all! The students
moved through learning/activity stations. What a great learning experience and fun day!
February has been a busy month for us in first grade. Did the groundhog see his shadow? We learned
facts about the groundhog and what it would mean if he did or did not see his shadow. We now know six more
weeks of winter is in store for us.
Our class celebrated Catholic School Week with activities throughout the week. Cards were made for
the Veterans, volunteers, and others in our community. St. Agnes students enjoyed Zoom with Father Dan and
our seminarian. The students were able to ask questions and learn more about them.
The Bishop celebrated mass for the school on Wednesday, February 3, 2021. After mass, doughnuts and juice were enjoyed by
all. Each classroom was visited by Mr. Engle, the Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese, and the Bishop. The
students were able to ask questions and learn more about them and their respective jobs.
Friday was Fun Friday! We participated in praying the rosary at the church, pajama day, and Zoom bingo.
What a great culmination to the week!
Our Valentine’s Day party was held on February 11. Trains were made with frosting, wafer cookies, and
life saver candy. Ms. Teresa came in to share this activity with us. What fun! Students enjoyed games and the
cards in the afternoon.
The students have been reading biographies. They have been so enthusiastic about the books.
As always, thank you to the parents for their kindness and support. You are all greatly appreciated.
