Happy Family Day Holy Redeemer Families,
I truly hope that today is a day filled with many blessings, and perhaps some fun in the snow, for you and your family.
LUV2GROOVE: All this week, Luv2Groove will be at Holy Redeemer to lead dance lessons for all classes. Each class will be taking part in 2 fun and energy filled lessons over the course of the week.
ROCKET STARS: Over the past two months, staff have been handing out “Rocket Star Cards” when we catch students doing something kind or helpful at school. If your child comes home with a card, be sure to ask them about it, and celebrate it!
THANKS: To our staff who plan all sorts of special events for students, like Have a Heart Day, Hundreds Day, Valentines Day, and all of our Spirit Days.
