FIRST RECONCILIATION - Please continue to pray for our second graders as they are preparing to receive their first reconciliation on Wednesday, November 20th in the evening.

THANKSGIVING BREAK - Our break for Thanksgiving begins on Wednesday, November 27th. Students return to school on Monday, December 2nd. And don't forget Advent begins Nov. 30th/Dec. 1st!

BREAKFAST WITH SANTA - Our preschool families are selling raffle tickets for $5 and event tickets for $8 (which includes breakfast, crafts, face painting, cookie decorating, and a gift from Santa!), Children ages two and under are FREE! Contact a preschool family for your tickets or stop by the school office to purchase tickets. Preschool families are also looking for items for the bake sale and silent auction. If you would like to donate and support our preschool program drop off auction donations by noon on Thursday, December 5th and baked goods by 3:00 PM on Friday, December 6th. Spread the word and invite your friends, neighbors, and family to this fun family event!!!

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM - Do you have the program on your calendar? Students in our afternoon pre K class through sixth grade will provide an amazing program for you on Thursday, December 12th at 6:30 PM. Students in kindergarten through sixth grade will share the program again on Friday, December 13th at 10:00 AM (This is an early release day.)

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!
