This week's adventures..
Our only full week of school this month was a great one! Thank you to all of our school families for displaying such an amazing amount of generosity. The number of cans and non-perishables that were delivered to the parish this week was impressive!
Thank you also to our NJHS members for orchestrating the collection, organizing cans and delivering to our parish!
Some of our NJHS students will be participating in the assembly of baskets for Thanksgiving delivery with members from the St. Vincent de Paul Society this weekend.
The school hallways felt slightly empty today, as our third and fourth graders ventured off site for academic excursions! Our third graders traveled to Plimouth to learn about the first Thanksgiving, while our fourth graders headed to Boston for a visit to the Museum of Science. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who chaperoned these field trips... safety in numbers!
December is right around the corner and with that transition comes many important dates and times for your calendars!
