Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is
true,
whatever is
noble,
whatever
is
right,
whatever
is
pure,
whatever is
lovely,
whatever is admirable—if anything
is
excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:8

TODAY is Giving Tuesday #GivingTuesday2017
|
|
Today is #GivingTuesday, a nation-wide reminder that Christmas is more than shopping on Black Friday and going online on Cyber Monday. It is a celebration of the birth of Christ, a time to give thanks for all that God has provided us! It should also be a time to give back. If the Christmas season is a time when you make your year-end charitable contributions, please consider Saint Benedict Catholic School on #GivingTuesday, or any time in the next month via our website:

The Festival of Lessons and Carols is a service of Christian worship celebrating the birth of Jesus. The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir music. Our students will present this event on Tuesday, December 12th at Saint Benedict Church at 6:30pm. Join us for this Advent season tradition.

Saint Benedict School in Pictures:

|
As reported last week, Grandparents Day was a HUGE success.
And a picture is worth 1000 words!
As you can see, the grandparents were welcomed with love and songs and thanksgiving and were celebrated in a special way at Mass.
Thank you again to Pat Maehr and the PTO for a wonderful event.

The weeks leading up to Christmas Break are VERY busy! We will need lots of help to ensure all events run smoothly and successfully! Here are some suggestions:
Volunteer by clicking on one of the links.
A reminder to all: It is your responsibility to enter your hours in RenWeb. Each family is required to fulfill 20 support hours per year,
8 of which must be completed in the first semester. If you have completed these hours but have not yet entered them, please take the time to do so now. If you sill need to fulfill hours, the opportunities listed above are a great way to satisfy them. A fee of $40 per unfulfilled hour will be assessed on January 1, 2018.
Our NEXT PTO meeting is Thursday, December 7th. Please join us! We always look forward to seeing new faces!!
