We began our Fourth Week of Advent by lighting our last candle on our wreath and singing our Advent Song. The children continue to wait and offer their prayers and small acts of kindnesses for Jesus! The picture above shows our manger and the "pieces of straw" that will be the bed for Jesus when He arrives this week. All Something Beautiful for Him!

Tomorrow (Wednesday 12/22) is our last day at school before Christmas break. Let's end 2021 with an out of dress code day and wear FESTIVE WEAR! Please remember to follow our "Out of Uniform Day" guidelines found on pg. 50-51 in our Parent and Student Handbook

Our Christmas break is Thursday, December 23rd through January 2nd. School resumes Monday, January 3, 2022.

Please join us in welcoming the Brzezinski Family to SJPS! Nicole joined our 6th grade class this week.

Don't forget to place 1/29/2021 on your family calendars! That is the evening of our Open House and Chili Cook-Off. It is being planned to be a wonderful family event! Invite your friends too!

Peace and continued Advent blessings to each of our students and families,

Mary J.
