School Happenings...
We hope everyone had a fun and enjoyable Spring Break. We are officially in the 4th Quarter of the 2018-19 school year! Second semester at St. Matthew has brought lots of learning and fun. February was overflowing with activities and events. The preschoolers celebrated National Lutheran Schools Week in February with daily themes and activities. The children made special crafts and greeting cards, dressed up for PJ, Character, Blue & White, and Hat Days. They held an ice cream social for the staff and passed out chocolates during The Ladies Aid meeting. The preschoolers loved their Valentine’s Day party which featured snacks, crafts, games, and passing out their individual valentines. At the end of the month, the 100th Day of School was celebrated, as well as Dr. Seuss Day. Spring Break and Easter were a big part of the beginning of spring, along with recognizing all of the summer birthdays. The End-of-Year celebration will round the remaining calendar for this school year. Our 2018-19 school year has been a blast and the preschoolers are well prepared for the next school year! - Mrs. Leonard
