Dear Parents,
As we enter this Advent Season, let us remember that Advent is a time of expectant waiting, hopeful anticipation, and cheerful preparation.
During this time of waiting, we
have much to do! While there are
presents to buy and decorations to hang, there are even more important things to focus on. We need to make sure we are ready to welcome Jesus! During this busy time of the year, may we remember to put our focus on the birth of Jesus and prepare our hearts for this wonderful gift of Christmas.

Bible Verse
Each month students learn a Bible verse, and recite it together at school during our morning prayers. We also pray a particular prayer each month.
Our Bible verse focus for the month of December is
John 13:35:
"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
The prayer we will focus on is the Glory Be.
