-We will be collecting items for Advent for the Glenmary Sisters from now until Dec. 12.
-We will have a class gift exchange this year. Each child needs to bring a $5 gift to be
exchanged December 18. Girls bring a girl’s gift; boys bring a boy’s gift. The gift tag should read, “To: girl/boy From: your child’s name”
Please bring them to school the week
of Dec. 9-13.
As our Advent project this year your
child will bring home a cut out of “helping hands”. Please talk with your child to find ways they
can be like Jesus to others by doing good deeds, helping at home, volunteering
at church, saying their prayers, etc.
The children write their good deeds on one of the “helping hands” each
week and return the hand to school by Friday.
I will have a picture of a stable in my classroom with an empty
manger. These hands will be used to
build a soft bed for Baby Jesus.
Pope
Francis has called all of us to reach out to the poor. Teaching children to participate in acts of
social justice is what we are called to do as a Catholic school. As part of our
Advent Project, we will be partnering with the Glenmary Sisters to collect
items that will be given to those in need.
We encourage each first grader to bring in winter wear items (hats,
gloves, scarves, coats, socks). The
Glenmary Sisters will come to the school to collect the items as we will
explain the importance of our call to love and care for others. Thank you!
Market
Day Bonus Days are here again for December. Dec. 10th is the last
day to order. This month if we can sell 500 boxes of cookie dough we will earn
a 45% profit. If every family purchases one box, we would meet our goal! Thanks
for your support. You can send an order to school or go to www.marketday.com.
