From: Mrs. Walsh and Mrs. Keehn
Math Club is growing by leaps and bounds. We currently have 32 members in the club. They are a fun group and we are having a good time. However, they are a hungry bunch and not many of them are bringing a snack to our meetings. We would appreciate if you could help by reminding your ‘mathlete’ to bring a snack, or alternately, providing bags of pretzels, fruit snacks or other healthy snack items for our club. Please contact Mrs. Walsh if you are going to send bulk items at walshjj@stmaryschool.net. She has room to store them and we would appreciate it immensely.
Since Math Club is only for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students, we cannot be responsible for any younger siblings. They are not allowed to wait in the school building without supervision, so please make other arrangements for them; an alternate plan may be to join L.E.A.D., our afterschool care program, on those days the Math Club meets.
Our schedule for the school year is as follows:
