School Notes
Posted on March 11, 2010
It is hard to believe that this Sunday is already the fourth Sunday of Lent. It seems like Ash Wednesday was just yesterday. Thank you for your generous support of our Brown Bag Fridays. Tomorrow the item is travel-size toothpaste and a disposable toothbrush.
Report cards will be going home with the students tomorrow. This marks a good time to visit with your children about the importance of finishing the year with a positive attitude and renewed commitment to do their best work. You may keep the report card but please sign the envelope and have your student return it to their classroom teacher. Thank you.
Next Wednesday, March 17, is St. Patrick’s Day. Students may wear green - no dyed hair, face paint, or tattoos. We will begin the day celebrating Mass at 8:45am with our Irish pastor! Thank you to Ms. Semandiris and Mr. Schreck and the 5th grade classes for planning this Mass. Families are invited to join us on this special occasion as we remember St. Patrick and honor Fr. John Madigan.
Finally, registration papers will be enclosed in next week’s FCE. Please make sure all of your school and parish accounts are up to date. Thank you!

Drama Elective
Posted on March 11, 2010
The 2009/2010 Drama Elective is putting on two one-act plays in mid-May. Our costumes require less sewing, gluing and cutting this year which means more hunting, shopping and spending! This is where we need your help…
Basically we are in need of a number of ball gowns (the gaudier the better) for 7th and 8th grade girls playing Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, the Evil Queen, Stepsisters 1 and 2, the Stepmother, etc. If you have old prom/tolo/homecoming dresses laying around your home and/or are willing to check out Goodwill and other like shops, we would strongly appreciate it. In addition, we are looking for about 2-4 old-fashioned suits appropriate for fairytale princes (like Charming). Again, if you have any suits laying around that fit this bill or are willing to search for us, we’ll love you forever.
Please contactDarcy McLaughlin if you are able or willing to lend your assistance. You can also stop by my room (6A) at Holy Rosary School before or after school hours.
8th Grade Pizza Lunch
Posted on March 11, 2010
Thank you everyone for your patience as we work out the glitches in the system. Your feedback is helping improve the process. Please note a few things: if you accidentally submit your order multiple times, we will be able to eliminate the duplicates; input the date you place your order and we will make sure it is applied to the next pizza lunch date; if you print the page to accompany your payment, don’t worry if the second page is cut off; lastly, we realized that we had the kindergarten teachers and classrooms switched, just select the correct teacher for your child, and we can figure out the rest. Please with any questions or feedback regarding the new process.

Dust Green Tip
Posted on March 11, 2010
This one is just plain scary. Reports from the Environmental Working Group say that indoor pollution is, in many ways, worse than outdoor. As foam furniture, electronic equipment, carpet pads, and other items with fire retardant chemicals breakdown, PBDEs are released, a nasty chemical that is quite toxic. These microscopic pieces of PBDEs mix with our house dust. There are plenty of other chemicals in our house dust as well, and since they are not exposed to sunlight and moisture indoors, they don’t break down. Even DDT, a toxic pesticide banned in the 1970s, was found in detectable levels in 65% of the Massachusetts homes tested in one study. For more info, check out the website of the Environmental Working Group. So, leave your shoes at the door and dust, dust, dust!
