Principal's Corner
Dear Parents,
Please join us for school Mass, this Thursday, 12/12, at St. Joseph's, located at 230 N. 3rd St., as we celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe. This Mass is for students in grades Kindergarten - 8th.

Please drop off your student(s) at the church no later than 7:50 a.m. All students will be brought to HFCS by bus.

One of my favorite Mass celebrations is the Mass for Our Lady of Guadalupe. It brings back memories of my childhood in Mexico where I too danced in thanksgiving and praise. My family and I would go to church and dance in Mass for “La Morenita,” which is a term of endearment that literally means, "little brown lady." 

Many people do not know the history of our Lady of Guadalupe and Juan Diego. A brief explanation of the purpose of this Mass and the beautiful imagery that you can expect to see and hear can be found  HERE.

Thank you so much to those who have brought coats/jackets for the Coat for Kids drive. So far we have collected a little over 100 coats/jackets, for families in need in Mesa County. We will be collecting coats/jackets until Thursday, 12/19, before we go on Christmas Break.

We will not be selling videos of the Christmas Program due to the high cost of reproducing it.

Mrs. Gipson
"Coats for Kids" Drive
Have your kids outgrown their coats/jackets?

Now through Thursday, December 19th, HFCS will partner with St. Joseph's Knights of Columbus Council #1062 in collecting coats for their annual Coats for Kids drive. These coats will help struggling families and their children.

Donations of gently-used, clean or new coats for boys and girls in all sizes are appreciated. Infant and adult coats are also needed.
