Advent
Dear SMV Families,
During this week before the fourth Sunday of Advent, we reflect on the surprising ways in which God has worked in our own lives: maybe relationships have been repaired, behaviors transformed, illnesses healed, energies rekindled, or hope restored. Let's continue to watch and be grateful for unanticipated gifts, no matter how simple or disguised. Come Emmanuel!
Thank you to Mrs. Kesler for putting together such a wonderful Christmas Concert! It was so nice to be able to celebrate the season with joyful songs. Our K3-5th grade students, along with all the band students, should be very proud of their performances.
If you were able to be at school for the concerts, then you were able to see some of the many lights and festive decorations around the building. I just wanted to acknowledge and thank Mr. Dennis Zainer, “Mr. Fix-it”, for all his work toward creating such a fun and welcoming environment for our students and staff. He is truly a blessing to SMV!
Next week Wednesday and Thursday, December 21 & 22, will be Christmas dress down days. Wear your ugly or beautiful Christmas sweaters, anything white, red or green holiday wear, or SMV spirit wear to celebrate the season!
Christmas break starts at 11:00am on December 22nd! Yes, early dismissal that day. Students will return to school on Wednesday, January 4, 2023. The school office will also close on Thursday, December 22nd, at 11:00am and will reopen on January 4th. The teachers have an in-service day on Tuesday, January 3rd.
Blessings,
Mrs. Mary Tretow
