Happy 3rd Week of Advent! Our children participated in lighting the 3rd candle yesterday morning.
Light the Advent candle three. Think of heav'nly harmony.
Angels singing "Peace on Earth" at the blessed Savior's birth.
Candle, candle burning bright, shining in the cold winter night.
Candle, candle burning bright, fill our hearts with Christmas light.
Our 8th graders led our first Spirit Groups activity last Wednesday on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Our activity filled our trees in the entrance hallway with bright yellow stars and how the children are waiting and watching for Jesus to come on Christmas Day! I've included a couple of photos below. I encourage you to stop in and see our trees and manger--we wait for Jesus!
A great big Lions' thank you to all who were helpers in our Santa's Workshop last Thursday. The children all had a wonderful time collecting gifts for family members.
We practiced two safety drills last week. We practiced "Secure" and "Evacuate." Everyone did a great job! We are continuing this week with "Lockdown." The children should expect to hear "Lockdown. Locks, Lights, Out of Sight." The teachers will guide their classrooms through the drill.
Do you know a neighbor, friend or relative who would like to attend St. Jerome Parish School? Have them join us on January 29 for our Open House and Chili Cook-Off. It is being planned to be a wonderful family event!
Peace and continued Advent blessings to each of our students and families,
Mary J.
