From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Break! I think this was much-needed time off. We began this morning with the lighting of our Advent Wreath (outside, for safety). The students were lively and ready to come back to school for these few short weeks before Christmas!
This week we have a few special out-of-uniform days!:
- Tomorrow (Wednesday, December 1) is Mission Shirt Day. Green Mission shirts, uniform bottoms.
-
Thursday, December 2: Culvers out of uniform day if you attended the Culvers night on November 23rd. Bring in your Pass!
-
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3: Jersey’s for Jackson $1.00 out of uniform day. Wear any type Jersey and non- uniform bottoms.
Jackson Sparks was the 8 year old boy killed in the Waukesha Parade Tragedy (See information below). All money collected will be donated to the fund that has been set up. We encourage the students to wear jerseys (of any type) on Friday and to make a donation to this cause. We will keep Jackson and all other families affected in our prayers.
This year, our Advent project will be the Parish Giving Tree. You will be receiving a notice this week asking if you wish to participate. The gift tags will be chosen on Friday, December 3rd and gifts should be returned next week. This will be the only December Service project we will be doing. We have moved our mitten, socks and underwear collection to January.
A Blessed Advent to all,
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
Please note change in Christmas Break! Due to the New Year's holiday being honored on Monday, January 3rd, classes will resume Tuesday, January 4th.
