St. Matthew School

Preparing for Jesus

Dear St. Matthew families and supporters,

In this season of Advent we prepared our hearts for our Savior. Every day we came to school we aimed to be like Christ, and bring His love to all.

May your families find joy in the birth of of Savior and remain open to His graces and blessings.

Merry Christmas!

Angie Palmer

Mrs. Vann our music teacher along with Mrs. Wray our Art teacher, put together an amazing opportunity for our students to celebrate the season in song and with art.

Following the Gospel of Luke, the songs and stories unfolded telling the story of our Savior's birth. We ended with a manger scene completely decorated by our students (with the help of Mrs. Wray, our K-5 Art Teachers).

The air was bustling for love of the Lord this night, as we sang for joy for His Glory!

"It was the best Christmas concert St. Matthew has ever had!" was heard over and over by many people- parents, grandparents, parishioners, teachers, and more.

Thank you Mrs. Vann for allowing the spirit to guide you and lead us through a concert that will forever last in our memories.

Thank you Mrs. Wray for your efforts on the artwork. It was the perfect piece to bring it all together.

Thank you Mrs. Wendy Weber, our accompanist, for the extra time and effort to play for us the night of and during our rehearsals.
