NEW! Thank You – How fun was our virtual Field Day?! Many, many thanks to those who took the time to post photos, videos, and times on the school Facebook page! We are so glad the kids got to go out and enjoy the beautiful weather and get a little exercise. If you haven’t checked it out yet, visit the school page at https://www.facebook.com/St.ChrisSchoolNH.

 

NEW! Diocesan Fall Transition/Remote Learning Survey Please be sure to complete the Diocesan parent survey sent by email yesterday! Your input on remote learning and plans for returning to school this Fall are important and valued. The survey HERE must be completed by Sunday, June 7. Thanks!


NEW! Closing School Mass – Our final livestreamed school mass of the year will be next Wednesday, June 10 at 10:00 AM. Since we had some streaming challenges with the
last mass, we are going to be broadcasting only on the parish Facebook
page (https://www.facebook.com/stchrisnh) and the parish website
(https://stchrisparishnh.org/live-stream/). Please tune in!


Faith in Action -- It's not too late to make a Faith in Action donation!  Proceeds from this portion of the Auction will go to improve safety and communications for both the upper and lower campuses as we come together as Saint Christopher Academy in the Fall. You can make a Faith in Action donation by sending a check to the office at St. Christopher or Nashua Catholic marked "Faith in Action." Your support is greatly appreciated!

 

Auction Item Pickup – Are you a winner? Congratulations! Auction items can be picked up at the school during our student book/item exchange from June 8 - 11 or through special arrangements by emailing Marta at [email protected]. Gift cards/certificates can be mailed to winners, also by contacting Marta. Thank you!

 

End of the School Year - Remote learning for this school year will officially end for Pre-K, Kindergarten and 6th grade students Friday, June 5. Grades 1 through 5 will end their remote learning at noon on Thursday, June 11! Printed report cards for the year will be sent through the postal service shortly after the 11th. We will send parents an email when they are in the mail.

 

UPDATED! NEXT WEEK! End of Year Item Pick-up/Drop-off at School - As everyone knows, our departure on the last day in the building in March was rather unexpected and many students left items behind...and, at the same time, many students have our textbooks at home for their studies! In order to facilitate an “exchange” of these valuable materials, we have set up an End of the Year Item Pick-up/Drop-off for next week, June 8 through 11.

To ensure social distancing, we have set up the schedule to limit the number of people in the building at one time. Parents of students who have not yet picked up items are asked to select a time on the Sign-Up Genius HERE to come to the school.

Teachers have gathered all student items in bags outside their classrooms and parents should leave all textbooks where indicated in the classroom. Library books can be dropped in the Library Book Return outside the library. All basketball and cheerleading uniforms must also be returned. We will have labeled boxes in the lobby for the uniforms.

Please be sure that you arrive and depart within the 15 minute period you select and all those over the age of two should wear a mask. This will help us keep everyone safe and healthy! Thank you for your help with this!

*Please note: Although Lifetouch has experienced some slow down due to the pandemic, we are hoping that our Yearbooks will be delivered on time for distribution next week to those who ordered them. If they do not arrive on time, we will contact parents over the summer with further instructions.

NEW! Notes from Mrs. Litch –

(1) Be sure to listen to the Morning Announcements posted on Mrs. Clarke's classroom this week!  Fifth and sixth grade students have been busy recording the various parts and then pulled them together into a video for each day.

 

(2) Our Talent Show is underway! We have so many talented students that I am glad I am not a judge!  You will be able to see talented musicians, dancers, and gymnasts.  You will be able to laugh at jokes, watch magic tricks, and even do some cooking in the kitchen.

With so many talented students, the entire show has been divided into 3 pieces according to grade levels.  Watch one piece, or all 3!  The talent shows will be available for viewing beginning at 9 am each day:   Tuesday (grades PK, K, 1, 2), Wednesday (grades 3,4), and Thursday (grades 5,6) . 

The shows are only open to be viewed by staff and students at St. Christopher - so in order for your family to view the shows, your student will need to login using one of these links:
