FRIDAY EVENING'S NEWSLETTER &

PICS OF THE WEEK!

A VISIT FROM ST. NICK,

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING,

&

CELEBRATING MARY'S IMMACULATE CONCEPTION...


ANOTHER PACKED WEEK!



The Advent season seems to be flying by, as we enter into the third week of anticipation and preparation! The sweet songs of the season can be heard in the hallways as our students "get in the spirit" by preparing for our school nativity performance. It has been a few years since we have been able to gather for the reenactment of that First Christmas… the true reason for the season!


Focusing on the needs of others has been a school goal this Advent, and our traditional SVDP Gift Card Collection was a successful mission for our NJHS. Each class has been praying daily for their Advent families and have truly given from their hearts to those families in need. The purchasing of presents for loved ones at St. Nick's Workshop was so much fun to watch! Our eighth graders executed a very smooth mission that ended a bit early due to successful sales... The class is grateful for your support!

On Monday we kick off our Toy Drive for Gifts to Give!


It's more blessed to give than receive.



Thank you for your continued support and have a wonderful weekend.
