Advent

Happy New Year! This Sunday marks the beginning of our liturgical year as we enter into the season of Advent. The season of Advent is a time of hope and anticipation of the coming of the Lord at Christmas, but also for Christ's second coming. The US Bishop's website is a wonderful resource for families during the season of Advent. Before you rush into the Christmas season, use the season of Advent to prepare your hearts and minds for the Christmas season!

Scholarship Opportunities
Silver Garland 
The Silver Garland is an award for service. Nominees are among the most talented and gifted high school seniors in Polk County, Florida. Of much greater importance is how the nominee has used that talent and skill in service to school and community. Service is what makes a student a Silver Garland nominee.

The Silver Garland program is sponsored as a community service by The Ledger and Lakeland Automall. Polk County high schools are invited to select seniors with records of outstanding service as Silver Garland candidates.
