Saint Mary Magdalene Newsletter

1-20-12

 

From The Principal

Please notice that Terra Nova results for your child have been included with the grade cards. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the teachers or me about them.

 

Next week's newsletter will be the final hard copy print. With the availability online, we feel this will save time and resources. Plus, we have noticed the we receive many phone calls regarding information in the

newsletter, so we're not sure how many people actually read the hard copy. You may request a hard copy in writing to Mrs. Fulcher (lfulcher@saintmarymag.org).  To read the newsletter online go to our website at www.saintmarymag.org.

 

OOPS!

Ben Dawson was not included in last week’s newsletter as one of the Geography Bee Finalists.  Congratulations Ben and Good Luck to all of the finalists!  Results will be in next week’s newsletter.
