- Due to the limited activity last week, and the snow day this week, there are
no extended bills
going home this week. Next week's bill will include both weeks.
- A small request - when submitting payments, can you please write one check per event (as we have different bank accounts for different events) and can you please NOT staple checks or cash to forms? As careful as I am, they always seem to end up ripping when I remove the staples and the bank gets mad :)
Thanks! Mrs. Reis

Adopting Our
Advent Families
Each one of our classes received the identity of a family-in-need that they will be praying for throughout Advent. Please pray as a family for the intentions of your child's Advent family. We will also be collecting gift cards (grocery, pharmacy, Walmart/Target) to send to the family to support them in their time of need this Christmas season.
Deadline for gift card donation is Wednesday, December 11th.
Lord give us the grace to serve You this Advent, through our service to one another.
Thank you, in advance, for your continued generosity.

The generosity that we are willing and able to extend to those in need , truly exemplifies the “reason for the season”. This past week, as an extension of the Feast of St. Nicholas, our students donated and generously “blanketed” the stage with a tremendous amount of toys to give to those less fortunate.
Thank you for teaching your children that to give is so much more important than to receive!

Feast of St. Francis Xavier
First Snow Day
A wonderful day of relaxation for many, with the exception of our amazing Building Maintenance Manager, John Guillotte! In his own words, "St. Francis didn't even help me shovel" .... not that we expected him to, as it was his feast day!
Thanks, Mr. Guillotte for digging us out, and St. Francis for keeping us all safe!
