Tabar Talks
We proudly bring to you the Advent edition of “Tabar Talks”. This Thursday for Advent, we look at the Jesse Tree. A Jesse Tree depicts the relationship of Jesus with Jesse and other biblical figures who were ancestors of Jesus. Start with a branch in a large pot and add a new ornament each day to represent individuals or stories from the Bible; you can continue this until December 24th.
The holiday season often gets confused with the “Reason for the Season”, so please remember as things get hectic to reflect upon the coming birth of the Christ Child. Similarly, there are a number of events at school curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular that truly make December fly by. Please be sure to check your calendars and keep up with all of the events.
This week was busy with #WeGiveCatholic, School Book Fair (all week - thank you Mrs. Bandfield), Lunch with a Loved One , Christmas Band Concert (tonight) and Penguin Patch (tomorrow). All of our Teachers, Staff, Volunteers and PTG will truly deserve the upcoming Christmas Vacation.
Sincerely,
Mr. Matthew Tabar | CCA Principal

Shoe Collection Drive
The American Heritage Girls are starting their bi-annual Shoe Collection Drive. By cleaning out your closets, you can help support our Troop and help others in developing countries by repurposing your shoes. Our goal is 2,500 pairs of shoes by January 18th. We are looking for new or gentle used shoes (all kinds, adults, kids, boots, sandals, high heels).
There will be a collection box by the St. Clare Statue in the school. Please bring your donated shoes to the school and place them in the box. We appreciate all your help to get us to our goal. If there are any questions, please contact Christy Raynor at (440) 684-0549. Thank you for your support.
