Dear Parents & Friends,
The students did a wonderful
job at the Christmas concert last
night. I hope that you all were
able to come and enjoy their
beautiful voices and hard work.
Thank you to everyone who
donated cookies and punch for
the reception after the concert.
It is always nice to have an
opportunity to visit with families
and celebrate the joys of
Catholic school together.
We will have Christmas
parties and an all school Mass
on Tuesday so students will
need to be in regular uniform
that day. However, students
who would like to dress down in
a “Christmas shirt” and jeans on
Monday are invited to do that. If
your child does not have a
“Christmas shirt”, they may
wear a shirt in either red, white,
or green. Please make sure
that any print is appropriate.
I pray that you all have a very
blessed Christmas celebrating
the birth of our Lord.
God Bless!
Nancy Butters
