Dear SJND Families,
As we start the Advent season, let us remember to be intentional about praying and taking a step back from our day to day routines to take note of ourselves, God and the possibilities of what may come. Advent is the perfect time to do this as we await the birth of Jesus on Christmas.
This week, our talented Visual and Performing Arts department will showcase their skills during the
Winter Festival of the Arts on Wednesday, December 4 starting at 7:00 p.m.
in the Kelly Gymnasium. The evening is sure to entertain all art enthusiasts.
Have a great week!
Ms. Guevara
Interim Principal
