First Holy Communion

Saturday, May 11th, 2019

10:00am

To help with the smooth running of the First Communion ceremony, we ask for your co-operation and to please note the following:

All students need to be dropped off in the classroom by 9:30am. Parents may go to the church after dropping off your child.

Seating arrangements – children are seated in reserved seats with their family members. Additional seating will be available behind this area for extra family and friends that will be attending the ceremony.

Parents and family members are asked to remain seated before and during the ceremony. Please do not leave your seat at any time to take photos or video.

All the children will gather at the rear of the church in order to process together to their seats at the beginning of the mass. The procession will begin when everyone is seated.

A professional photographer has been hired to take a photo of your child as they receive their First Communion.

A professional class photograph will be taken immediately after Mass. Please remain seated until this has been taken. A copy of your child’s individual photo, as well as a class photograph, will be provided to you.

Walk a few steps behind your child as they go up to receive Communion. Stop a few steps back to allow the photographer to take your child’s special picture. Parents can then step forward next to their child to receive.

Lastly, enjoy this special day with your child and help to create memories that they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Sing a New Song

Dan Schutte

Sing a new song unto the Lord;
let your song be sung from mountains high.
Sing a new song unto the Lord,
singing alleluia.

Shout with gladness and dance for joy.
O come before the Lord.
And play for him on glad tambourines,
and let your trumpet sound.

Sing a new song unto the Lord;
let your song be sung from mountains high.
Sing a new song unto the Lord,
singing alleluia.

Rise, O children, from your sleep;
your Savior now has come.
He has turned your sorrow to joy,
and filled your soul with song.

Sing a new song unto the Lord;
let your song be sung from mountains high.
Sing a new song unto the Lord,
singing alleluia.

Glad my soul for I have seen
the glory of the Lord.
The trumpet sounds; the dead shall be raised.
I know my Savior lives.

Sing a new song unto the Lord;
let your song be sung from mountains high.
Sing a new song unto the Lord,
singing alleluia.

St. Thomas More School Spell-a-thon 2019

Your Participation Supports Our Technology Program!

HOW IT WORKS: The Spring Spell-a-thon is an annual fundraiser. As per the financial policies, all

TK-8 students will participate in this activity. The minimum total pledge amount to be collected per student is $30. Classroom teachers will administer the Spell-a-thon tests to students on Friday, May 3, 2019. It is a written test, and the word list will be sent home this week for the children to study. TK will be given 15 words to spell (from a list of 30), grades K-3 will be given 30 words to spell (from a list of 50) and grades 4-8 will be given 50 words to spell (from a list of 100).

SPONSOR SHEETS: Students need to gather as many sponsors as they can on the attached sheet -- there is no limit. Additional sponsor sheets are available in the office. They may ask parents, relatives, friends, and neighbors, however, we ask that there be no solicitation of classmates. On the sponsor sheet, list the sponsors’ names and the amounts per word they wish to pledge. Sponsors may also make a minimum $10 flat rate pledge. Sponsor forms must be returned to the classroom teacher no later than Friday, May 3, 2019. After the Spell-a-thon, we will calculate the amounts due from each sponsor. The sponsor sheet and their graded spelling test will be given to each student in their Wednesday Envelope on May 8th so they can collect the monies pledged. Monies must be turned in to the classroom teacher no later than dismissal on Wednesday, May 15, 2019.

PRIZES: Awards will be given to winners in grades TK-3 and grades 4-8 in the following categories:

• Students with perfect scores in each class (a certificate of achievement)
• The student who collects the most money per class (free dress for a day)
• The student who collects the most money for the school (free dress for a week)
• The class that brings in the most money, based on the average per child (free dress for a day, movie party with snacks, and the classroom teacher has free dress for a week!)

IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER:

• April 10, 2019 Spell-a-thon forms distributed
• May 3, 2019 Completed sponsor sheets due back to school
• May 3, 2019 Spelling tests administered by the classroom teacher
