A Message from Mrs. Earle
Happy Feast of Saint Matthias! Our patron saint’s feast day was yesterday, May 14th. Saint Matthias, as
we remember from Father Dave last year, was indeed a follower of Jesus both spiritually and physically.
He gave himself to Jesus and witnessed all that Jesus did. Our hope and prayer is that like St. Matthias,
we too can continue to follow Jesus every day. We also pray for the intercessions of St. Matthias to see
us through this pandemic, keep us safe and healthy and bring us back together.
As I write this, we have three weeks of distance learning left. Our next steps will be to organize the pick-
up of all student desk and locker items and begin our planning for next year. If you were issued a
Chromebook, we will be providing a checklist for its return. Please expect to return all Chromebooks the
week of June 8, 2020. As we learn more about what the next school year will look like, we will share that
with all of you. Our hope is to be together again!
I am enjoying visiting classrooms and seeing your children virtually. I was happy to visit the K4-4Th Grade
buddies this week and listen to a story read by Mrs. Wehr called This School Year Was Different. The
story reminded children that they are still a class, they are still friends and their teacher is still their
teacher. Another reminder that at St. Matthias, we are still a school.
We continue to celebrate our 8th Grade jokesters with this week’s Winner Winner, Pizza Dinner
Week 3 Hangout Winner! Our 8th Graders spend time together each week! Since laughter is the best
medicine, jokes are shared. Shout out to Mrs. Cottreau for providing the joke this week. The first
student to guess the answer within 5 seconds was Jenna Kasal! Jenna was surprised by a pizza delivery
from Mrs. Cottreau #loveour8thgraders#smile
Can you guess the answer?
What kind of stories do horses tell?
Congratulations!
Please continue to take care good care of yourselves!
Gratefully, Mrs. Earle
