From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
Happy Second Week of Advent! We lit the second candle this morning at a prayer service led by the 5th grade class. We have been gathering outside, in the fresh air on Monday mornings. It certainly gets our week off to a robust start!
Thanks for all the House of Peace donations. We were able to fill 24 complete food boxes (with a few extra items left over). We have had a great response to The Giving Tree. It isn’t too late. If your family wishes to have a tag or two, please let us know and we will send it home right away. The Human Concerns Committee would like all donations turned in (with tags attached) by Monday, December 13th.
Students are gearing up for the Christmas concerts. We have split up the classes for more of a social distancing opportunity. Everyone should have received a notice regarding the concert students will need to attend. This is a special time to bring us all together to celebrate the season!
Tuesday, December 7th is our next IGNITE Evening of Family Adoration. This takes place from 6:00 – 7:00pm in church with refreshments to follow. Please see the notice below for additional information.
Continued Advent Blessings!
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.
