Our November music classes were filled with Thanksgiving favorites! We counted backwards with the Five Little Turkeys Song, moved our bodies to Grey Squirrel and Turkey Hokey-Pokey, and danced together to the very popular Turkey Tango!
I look forward to seeing everyone at the Sing-Along on December 6th!

Greetings!
"Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most." Richelle E. Goodrich
St. David's Episcopal Church and
School shine their light every day, but by far the bright
e
st time is during the advent season in anticipation of Christmas and the birth of Jesus. As the month of November closed, we donated food to the Backpack Buddies program to help elementary students have food over the weekend to eat. For December, POPS has organized a Toys for Tots drive to collect toys to share with families in the area that need help at Christmas time. Please continue your generosity and donate a toy this season. POPS has also planned a wonderful Christmas Celebration on Wednesday, December 6 beginning at 6:00 pm. POPS shines their "light of love" by providing opportunities for families to connect and celebrate the season together. Jesus reminds us that whenever two or more of us are gathered in his name, he is there. Know that Jesus is here with us at St. David's!
Blessings,
Ann-Marie and Julie
