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

Her area of concentration was vocal performance and she has experience with acting, dance, opera, and as a soloist/chorister in church choirs.

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.

Now is the time to bring in your gently used uniforms so that we can prepare for the uniform swap. Donated uniforms should be in good condition. All uniforms must be in a bag labeled with your name and number of items donated so that you can get credit. The date of the swap is still to be confirmed. Stay tuned!
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 THIS Thursday, December 7th at 6pm in the school cafeteria. Please join us! We always look forward to seeing new faces!!
