Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving with your family and friends. God provides many things for us to be thankful for and my hope is everyone took some time to reflect and appreciate all that we are blessed with.

We are officially entering the Advent season and in these next 4 weeks we will begin preparing for the arrival of the baby Jesus. As we are only in the building for the next 3 weeks, we have many events occurring, and I know how much our students enjoy these memory making moments. Please continue to check your teacher’s websites frequently to ensure you are prepared for the next few weeks.

This week we have our Children’s Corner run by our PTA. Students have the opportunity to shop for their loved ones for the Christmas season. Please check what day and time your child’s class is scheduled for. Parents or relatives are welcome to assist with this shopping process. If you are unable to attend, do not worry as there are plenty of parent volunteers available to assist.

On Tuesday, December 3^rd our vocal ensemble group will have their performance at 4:00PM in the AAC. I know how hard they have been working with Mrs. Calicchio for the past several weeks. I look forward to seeing the fruits of their labor. On Wednesday we have a special visitor, Father Colavita, who will be speaking with our 7^th and 8^th grade boys. We look forward to his visit.

As we implemented last year, the next 3 Fridays will be Christmas themed. This Friday, December 6^th, students are allowed to wear their favorite Christmas socks. Additionally, this is a half day with dismissal at 12:30 PM. The remainder of the afternoon will be the preparation for our PTA’s Christmas Bazaar on Saturday, December 7^th. This event runs from 9:00AM to 3:00PM. We hope you can join us for some great food, raffles, and shopping!

I wish you all a blessed week!
