WISH UPON A STAR -
Instead of giving tree, you will find an nativity scene with a starry sky behind it in the school entrance during conferences and throughout the Advent season. On the stars are wishes from the classrooms. If you would like to purchase an item for the classroom - please take the star, buy the item, wrap it, and return it to school on or before Wednesday, December 18th. If you are unable to purchase items, please continue to pray for the students and staff. Prayers are the best gifts!
Blessings to you!
