            Dear Parents:

Happy Advent! Isn’t it strange how quickly months pass, especially when you could

use a little more time. In school we will use an Advent Wreath and Jesse tree prayers

each day to help prepare the children for Christmas.

As we prepare for the coming of Christ, I am sure you will enjoy our Christmas Show and I know

it will be a treat for all! What a wonderful way to bring in the Christmas spirit. At intermission, we

usually have our Early Bird Lottery drawing. You’ve got to be in it to win it!!

Thank you for all the help with the Thanksgiving Baskets. As usual you outdid yourselves. It’s a joy

to be able to help others and I know the Migrant workers associated with our House on the Hill

Project are very grateful.

 REMINDER: Intramurals will start in February for 3^rd & 4^th graders. Current physicals must be on

file with the nurse in order for the children to play. 

As we prepare for the birth of Jesus, Our Savior, I wish you and your family the peace and

joy of this Holy Season. Blessings!

Lovingly,

Sr. Barbara Werner, OP

Principal
