GRANDPARENTS AND SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY -
OCT. 20th, 10 a.m.
Please join us for a special morning enjoying time with your grandchild(ren). We will start with a welcome coffee in our Parish Hall at 10:00 a.m. and then join our students (ages 3 & up) in chapel at 10:30, followed by classroom visits from 11:00 to 11:45. School will be dismissed at 11:45 so you can enjoy the afternoon with family.
NOTE: Grandparents visiting our 2-year-olds will go directly to the classrooms at 11:00 a.m., as our 2-year-olds do not attend chapel in the sanctuary.
We will have Gracie's Kitchen food truck available right outside the Parish Hall after dismissal, so please join us for lunch - tables and chairs will be set up in the Parish Hall

TRUNK OR TREAT & FALL FESTIVAL - OCT. 26TH, 6-8 pm
Trunk-or-treating is a version of trick-or-treating, but instead of children going door to door to collect candy, they go from trunk to trunk. Children are encouraged to dress up in their
costumes and they walk through our parking lot, stopping at cars that have decorated
trunks
and receive candy. Families are encouraged to participate and decorate your trunk and come be a part of our fall festival. All are welcome to come and enjoy, even if you are not participating in trunk decorating. There will be a competition for the best decorated trunk!!
Please remember: NO NUTS
