Thursday Update – January 27, 2022
Dear St. Matthew’s Elementary School Families,
Thank you so much for your generosity! We collected many cans of unperishable foods for the St. Matthew’s St. Vincent de Paul Society. These donations will directly benefit local families in the Fleetwood community.
It is hard to believe we are already on the cusp of the month of February! February, though a relatively short month, will be filled with a lot of activities for your children: we will celebrate Catholic Schools’ Week (the week of February 14th) and we hope to have a school themed Mass at the 10:30 am Mass on Sunday, February 27, 2022! Stay tuned for more details.
Thank you ALL very much for your continued diligence regarding the restrictions and guidelines as we hopefully round the corner on this pandemic! We know it is difficult but, keeping your children home when they are sick is important. Please note that now children, if sick with COVID-19 symptoms, have only to stay home up until 5 days (if their symptoms have ceased). Please see below for a link to the most up-to-date and handy chart of What to do When Sick.
Lastly, Happy Lunar New Year to all of our families celebrating this new start to the year! May your celebrations be joyous and safe!
Sincerely in Christ,
Miss Welsh
