News From Mrs. Bethune:
Hello all,
It was a busy week at school this week. It was so nice to have a nice refreshing break and the students and staff came back ready to learn and share. The students have been working hard on getting their Christmas Program music ready and on preparing for the first week of Advent. The decorations have gone up in the hall, classrooms, and the office. We will do an Advent prayer and light the candle each week together as a school on Monday morning after Mass. It is such a special time to come together and prepare for the Birth of our Lord.
Today we awarded the Students and Teacher of the Month. We are so proud of their hard work and perseverance. This month they were focusing on self-control, respect, and courage. Next month the focus will be on peace, obedience, and cooperation. Congrats to all the recipients today: Maxson, Vy, Sena, Ella, Lilliana, Shelby, Emily, Preceis, Annalisa, Elizabeth, and Mrs. Hartmann. They will receive a pizza party next week in Mrs. Bethune's office.
Next week we are hoping St. Nicholas will stop and visit the school on his feast day of December 6th. We are also having our all day Adoration and Benediction on Monday. There will be no school on Friday due to the Holy Day of the Immaculate Conception.
May your first Sunday of Advent be filled with hope and anticipation for the Birth of our Lord.
God Bless,
Mrs. Bethune
