ST. CATHERINE DECEMBER NEWSLETTER
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
We are looking forward to meeting with you at our upcoming Parent Teacher Interviews. Your support and involvement in your child/children’s education is appreciated. Research shows that students do better in school when their parents show an interest in their activities and their progress.
I would like to take a moment to thank our wonderful staff at St. Catherine. We are so blessed to have such a dedicated and compassionate group of people working with all of your children. Each day they greet your children with a smile and a gentle heart. They work so hard, behind the scenes and on their own time, to ensure that each child is provided with the best possible learning environment. If you have a moment, send or say a simple “thank you” to your child(ren)’s teacher(s) or any staff member. I am certain they would appreciate it!
Advent begins this Sunday, December 1st. Advent of course leads to Christmas but is distinct from Christmas. The word “advent,” from Latin, means “the coming.” It is a time of spiritual reflection as well as cheer and anticipation. In all that we do this Advent season let us remind ourselves and our children that the coming of Jesus gives us the community of Church that we need to live our lives today and into the future in hope and love. Please join us as we celebrate Advent. Celebration dates and times are on the school calendar.
We are excited to be holding two Christmas Concerts this year! The students and staff are busy preparing for these wonderful events! We are looking forward to wonderful evenings! Information about times and tickets will be sent home and is in this newsletter. Our Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 3 Concert is on Wednesday, December 11th at 6PM. Our Grade 4 to 7 Concert is on Thursday, December 12th at 6PM.
As we move into a busy Christmas season let us remember to take some time to pause and reflect on the true meaning of the season! God bless!
:) Mrs. LaCroix
