A MESSAGE FROM MRS. HYLAND
|
|
Dear Berkeley Hills families,
We are looking forward to seeing you and your family at our
Elementary Christmas Concert this evening, Monday, December 9.
Students should arrive no later than 6:30 pm
at Christ Church at Grove Farm and immediately go to the front of the church to sit with their classroom teacher. The
Christmas concert will begin promptly at 7:00 pm.
We also welcome family and friends to
view students' framed artwork available for purchase at the Winter Art Show from 6:00-7:00 pm
, before the start of the Christmas concert.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloth and lying in a manger. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:11-14
Blessings,
Mrs. Hyland
Berkeley Hills Principal
