Thanks to all who donated items for Stuff-a-Truck. It will be going to the St. Peter Area Food Shelf!
CONFERENCES - Thanks to the following families for providing food and beverages for our Thursday evening meal during conferences: Yost, Schmidt, Albrecht, Makori, Anderson, and Soderlund!
NO SCHOOL AT JI - Because of conferences the evenings of Thursday, November 17th and Tuesday, November 22nd there is no school at JI on Wednesday, November 23rd. There is school in the district on that day, but we will start our Thanksgiving break one day earlier!
ROLLER SKATING IN PE - Students will be roller skating during PE classes in December. There is a permission form in this week's Friday Folders. We are asking for a small fee to help cover the cost of this special PE unit.
BREAKFAST WITH SANTA - Please spread the word about this amazing event happening on December 3rd. A small flyer is in the Friday Folders. If you would like larger flyers to post, please contact the school office.
WINTER WEATHER - Snowy and colder weather has arrived and will likely not go away for awhile. Students need winter gear every day. If you have not already, please sign up with Remind to receive special weather related announcements. There was an email sent on Wednesday with the link. The link is also at the bottom of every newsletter in the green section by the teacher's email links.
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM - More details will be shared in the coming weeks, but do you have these dates marked on your calendar?
Thursday, December 15th 6:30 PM
Friday, December 16th 1:00 PM
ADVENT - The season of Advent begins on Sunday, November 27th. Do you have any special traditions? How do you prepare your hearts and minds for Jesus's coming not just at Christmas but also his coming into our lives every day and at the end of time? Ask your children what kinds of projects, prayers, and activities they are doing at school during Advent.
WALL of WISHES - In the school entrance, you will see our Wall of Wishes. There are color coded stars for the different grade levels and specialists. If you would like to purchase a gift for these classrooms or specialists, please take the star off the wall. Purchase the gift, wrap it, and drop it off at school on or before December 19th. Remember the best gift you can give is to include us in your daily prayers.

Blessings to you!
