The Feast of the Immaculate Conception was celebrated on December 8th with students attending mass and learning more about this most special day in their classrooms. Mary pure, without sin was to be the mother of Jesus. We also continue our Advent journey at school. Students and staff are collecting items for Operation One More as our Advent Service Project. I am so happy to share that we are very close to collecting 500 items, which was a school goal that we set! Thank you so much for your donations! This Monday, Dec. 13th we will gather via Zoom for our 3rd Advent Prayer Service. We are thankful to our 4th and 5th grade students for leading us. This snow should definitely put us in the Christmas spirit, along with our upcoming Christmas Concerts directed by Mrs. Sears, our wonderful Music teacher. Please look for information about the times of the concerts in this Broadcast. One change for the concert has been the location. We will have you come to the school gym to watch the shows. Everyone is so excited to perform! God bless, Miss Heimer |
