Also known as the Angel’s Candle, during this last week of Advent we rejoice in God's endless love for us, made apparent in the birth of his Son.

MUSTANGS THEATRE COMPANY

Thanks to all who contributed and supported the Mustangs Theatre Company's production of The 39 Steps. Three evening shows with our last one beyond a sell out! If you missed all the fun, stay tuned for productions coming up from our Drama 8 and 9 classes and our senior drama class.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT WEEK!

It was a very busy last week, but our Mustangs came out and showed their best school spirit each day! The highlight as usual was the yearly Secret Santa assembly which included a Jello-eating contest.

Merry Christmas Mustangs!
