Word from the Principal
Thank you to everyone for a successful Harvest Breakfast. It was a beautiful day of fun, faith and fellowship. Congrats to all the winners.
It has been a wonderful week as we have begun our preparations for the Birth of our Savior. We started off the Advent Season with the Jesse Tree Prayers. The older students read an Advent Prayer, while the younger students hang ornaments on our Christmas tree.
The students will visit the Santa Shop will be this Wednesday and Thursday. Please send money with your child in an envelope with their name on it. Thank you to the wonderful ladies who made the Secret Santa Shop possible.
Just a reminder to make sure that students have hats, gloves and winter jackets.
God Bless, Michelle L. Knippen
