Notes from the Teacher:
Just a reminder
there will be NO After School Program on the last day of school before Christmas Break. The last day of
the program will be Thursday, December 18. Please make other
arrangements for your child after school on December 19. Call or send a
note to school informing us how your child will be getting home. Thank you!
ADVENT PROJECT:
We
are all blessed to be part of a school where we can learn and talk about the
season of Advent as a special time to focus on God’s greatest gift to us, His
Son, JESUS! Pope Francis has called ALL of
us to reach out to the poor. Teaching children to participate
in acts of social justices is what we are called to do as a Catholic school.
This
year, 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 ask each child in the first grade to bring in items from the list below. We will collect these items from December 1st- December 17th.
