Christmas Concert: This Wednesday!
We ask that students be in their homerooms by no later than 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Students are to wear a white top and black bottom. As it's likely to get quite warm in the Church, a sweater may not be a good choice of apparel.
Native LIFE Presentation
Posada: An Invitation To Attend and A Call For Donations
A "posada" is a re-enactment of the journey of Joseph and Mary asking for lodging for the birth of Jesus.
Traditionally, the participants in the posada receive refreshments. We would appreciate any donation of cookies, which would be given to students and guests.
Thank you for your generosity.
