A THANKSGIVING PRAYER
God of all blessings, source of all life, giver of all grace:
We thank you for the gift of life:
for the breath that sustains life,
for the food of this earth that nurtures life, for the life-giving love of family and friends.
We thank you for the mystery of creation: for the beauty of the Earth that the eye can see, for the unfolding universe that draws us beyond our imaginings.
We thank you for the communities to which we belong: for families, for friends, for neighbors and for companions at work.
We thank you for our brothers and sisters of all ages, all races, all nations and all faiths.
God of all goodness, we pray in thanks for your presence among us as we gather together, and your promise to be with us now and always.
AMEN.

PASSING NOTES

- The Knights of Columbus have extended their deadline for $1,000 high school tuition scholarships to December 2nd. The requirements that will be considered for this scholarship are financial need, Grade Point Average of 2.5 or higher, academic awards, community and/or parish involvement, and extracurricular activities. The Knights have a particular desire to help students who may be considering a religious vocation stay in a Catholic high school to foster and encourage that calling. All K of C Scholarship data may be found on the Ohio Knights of Columbus website at a new web address: https://www.kofcohio.org/scholarships
- As the weather turns colder and students begin switching from shorts to pants, we want to remind you that the band is always accepting donations for their used uniform sale that takes place at the beginning of each school year. If you have any gently used uniforms that you're willing to donate, please bring them to the main office.
- The Music Department is selling tickets to its upcoming Christmas Dinner and Concert on December 10. Dinner includes pasta, meatballs, your choice of alfredo or marinara sauce, salad, garlic bread, dessert and a beverage. Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children 12 and under. Dinner starts at 5 p.m., and the free concert begins at 7 p.m. You can order tickets online.
- Once again, we are offering an ACT Prep Course for students taking the test on December 12th. The course will run on Sunday evenings (November 15, 22, 29, and December 6) from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Cost is $125.00 and includes a Study Guide. Please register in the Guidance Office as soon as possible.

The senior class thanks everyone who donated items, food and time to Action Appalachia. Again, we collected approximately 14,000 pounds of donations -- enough to fill our rental truck. 22 senior class members and four Carroll staff members will head to Campton, Kentucky, tomorrow to deliver these items to stock their local pantry. Carroll High School is the largest contributor to the Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd in Campton. Sister Susan Marie Pleiss, a 1975 Carroll grad, resides at the parish to serve as Pastoral Associate.

We invite you to support the Carroll St. Pat's Fest to be held March 11-12, 2016. Friday evening will be the ever-popular Irish Fish Fry (adults only), followed by family fun on Saturday highlighting Irish Dancers, talented bands, delicious food, Celtic games, and more. Our goal is to successfully bring together various groups at Carroll as well as create an entertaining event to the Greater Dayton area, in celebration of St. Patrick's Day!
Sponsored by the Alumni Association, the Patriot Booster Club, and the
Carrolleer Band Association. Money raised will positively impact the entire Carroll community--benefiting academics, the arts, athletics, and alumni.
We need your help! Fill out the volunteer form on Carroll's website or contact Julie Weitz at jweitz@carrollhs.org if you would like to help.
