End of Second Grade Poem 

The year is coming to an end, I can’t believe it’s true.

Before you know it, you’ll be moving onto somewhere new.

It seems like only yesterday you entered 2nd grade.

Think of all the fun we’ve had, and all the progress you’ve made.

We’ve studied things like phonics, math, reading, and writing.

We also learned to do our best and to solve disagreements without fighting.

We played at recess on the swings, the monkey bars, or slide.

We hoped we wouldn’t misbehave and have to sit out on the side.

We’ve grown as learners, and as friends, but now it’s time to go.

Before you leave, there’s something important I’d like for you to know.

You came in and touched my heart in a very special way.

Although you move on, I hope you know that in my heart you’ll stay!

Tomorrow - You can wear pajamas/comfy clothes and bring in a stuffed animal.

Friday - Wear Spirit Wear. Mass at 9:30 and dismissal from school after. Please bring your backpack.

Dear St. Juliana Families,

     We are excited to finish up our first school year with our TEAMs initiative. We have seen all of our students get to know new friends across all grade levels who smile and wave in the hallways. Our activities throughout the year have included scavenger hunts, escape rooms, trivia, puzzles, the charity challenge and more. We look forward to continuing our TEAMs next year as well.

      On Friday, May 30, all classes kindergarten through seventh grades will participate with their TEAM in a Field Day at Brooks Park. The Field Day events will include fun activities for all ages. Your child will get wet and sweaty! Therefore, please send your child to school appropriately dressed for the weather that day which includes the TEAM t-shirt (no skirts or dresses), gym shoes only (no sandals, crocs, slides) and maybe a sweatshirt. Apply sunscreen at home. Water bottles should be labeled with your child’s name. At 12:00, everyone will return to the school for lunch. In case of inclement weather, this event will be cancelled.     

       Thank you so much for your support of this initiative to make SJS stronger together.
