The mission of Corpus Christi Catholic School is to nurture every child by providing the opportunities to grow in faith, achieve academic success, and serve others as disciples of Jesus |

Dear Parents,
As we near the midpoint of our school year, I want to thank you for entrusting your children to us. On behalf of the faculty and staff, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. May this joyous season and your coming year be filled with blessings of His peace.

Our Bible verse focus for the month of December is
John 13:35 “By this, all men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.”
The prayer we will focus on is the Glory Be.

Tomorrow is our Blackout for Melanoma awareness day. It is an out of uniform day. The t-shirts that students ordered were sent home today. Students may wear any black shirt if they did not purchase a t-shirt. Funds from the t-shirt sale will directly benefit one of our own families-the family of Leigh Ankerson Bailey. Her son Noah is a 6th-grade student at Corpus Christi. Sadly, Leigh passed away on November 20 after her battle with Metastatic Melanoma. 8th-grader Emily Gillis has organized a hot chocolate and cookie fundraiser that is happening tomorrow. This will also benefit the Bailey Family. |

Friday is our last day of school before Christmas break. Students may come to school out of uniform wearing Christmas colors. Our teachers have fun activities and parties planned for their students! We will dismiss at noon on Friday and there is no after school care. |

Calendar Change - Virtual Learning |
|
As a precaution, our students will return from the Christmas holidays to a week of virtual school from January 4-8. You will get more information from the school and your child’s teacher as to the expectations for the week of virtual learning. The information will be sent to parents by Wednesday, December 16th. Our students will return to classroom instruction on Monday, January 11, 2021.
Originally, we were scheduled to have a faculty retreat day on January 4 and school would resume on January 5. However, with the switch to virtual learning, our retreat day has been postponed to Thursday, April 1. (This will be a day out of school for students.) Please mark your calendars with these changes.

A message from our traffic guard |
|
Our traffic guard, Mrs. Voncile Smith, wanted me to let all of our parents know how much she appreciates your patience in the morning. She treasures the smiles and the waves she receives each morning. I know many of you feel the same about Mrs. Voncile! If you wish to deliver her a present for Christmas, please know your child can leave it in the office and we will be sure she receives it. It is dangerous to try and pass along something to her while she is directing traffic. Thank you! |

We are proud of all of the participants that represented their classes in our spelling bee last week. Congratulations to our 1st place winner, 5th-grader Emma Burkett, and the runner-up 4th-grader Emily Shelp. Way to go! |

#iGiveCatholic - Thank you! |
|
Corpus Christi Catholic School would like to thank everyone who supported the #iGiveCatholic day of giving! Your generosity is a blessing to our school. This money will be used to support the school’s annual fund. As this year comes to an end, we will continue to accept donations. We ask you to prayerfully consider contributing to our annual fund. Donations can be made online at the link below, or we welcome you to stop by the school office to make a donation by cash or check.
May the blessings and joy of the Christmas season be with you and your family throughout the new year.
