We will Rise together for another fabulous week as we pray, work, and play with Respect, Responsibility, and Reverence!

Our season of Advent is upon us! As a way of preparing our hearts for Jesus, the children will receive an Advent Service calendar. On this calendar, they will be asked to complete one act of kindness on a daily basis throughout this season of Advent. As each act is completed, they will color in a leaf on their Advent wreath, which will accompany the calendar. Please make sure that your child works on this project on a daily basis, since we will be taking the time each morning to discuss ways that we can make this Advent a good and great one for others and ourselves.



The children will be having a Math Test this Wednesday (December 2). We will also have a Religion quiz on Thursday. Notes can be found in the Green notebook and in Google Classroom, so please prepare in advance to meet with success. In addition, there our Spelling test will take place on Friday, along with our Reading and Vocabulary test.
