Dear Saint Paul School Community,
We are in the Christmas spirit at Saint Paul School! It was kicked off last Wednesday as faculty and staff gathered for our annual Christmas luncheon. We also joined together Thursday night to make ornaments for the Breakfast with Santa boxes. On Friday we celebrated with our choir, led by Ms. Sennett, singing in Downtown Hingham and enjoyed Snow in the Square hosted by Mr. Andrassy, Mr. Menard and Mr. Hussey. Our November Virtue Award recipients were honored at Monday’s schoolwide prayer. On Wednesday our Grade 8 visited LaSalette Shrine in Attleboro to view the LOVE IS BORN 2021 Christmas Festival of Lights. Today and yesterday students were treated to the annual PTO Christmas Bazaar which included a festive DDD yesterday and PJ’s today! If you ordered, don’t forget to come pick up your Breakfast with Santa box tomorrow.
The Christmas Bazaar was supported by 100% of our parent community …. Thank you, Co-Chairs Barbara Horan and Christina Baker, and their team of volunteers the past week! This is the PTO’s second largest fundraiser of the year and it exceeded all expectations.
Sunday marks the third Sunday of Advent. The third Sunday of Advent we are invited to reflect on the joy we have access to because of our faith in Jesus. One of the defining characteristics of Christ-followers is their joyful demeanor. Let’s not allow the struggles of this year steal from the great joy we have because of Jesus.
Next Week’s Events:
· December 13: Christmas Concert @ 12:30pm Saint Paul School Gymnasium / Students in Christmas attire / This event is for PARENTS ONLY and will be livestreamed for family at home
· December 14: Middle School Spanish Nativity @ 10:00am Saint Paul School Gymnasium / for PARENTS ONLY

Children 5-11 are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. We encourage you to consult with your pediatrician and vaccinate your child.
Please send in documentation of vaccination after the second vaccine.
A child is considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after their second vaccine dose.
