Still waiting…

Dear Families,

Although we are still in Advent, I can definitely feel, see, and hear the Christmas spirit around the school! Students in some classes are making cards and care packages for the housebound in our parish, others are collecting socks for the homeless, still others are on field trips to WestSide Baby and St. Vincent de Paul and all are praying. Mrs. Tsagalakis, Mrs. Kelly, and the homeroom teachers are busy getting ready for the Christmas programs this evening (preschool and primary) and next week (intermediate, Cantionis, Band). The middle school students performed their song and dance routines to Christmas music earlier this week to the delight of their fellow classmates. And of course, there are the many Santa hats at every recess! The excitement is palpable as we encourage the students to stay focused. My prayer for you and them is that the remaining days of Advent are filled with hope, faith, and awe at the coming miracle of Christmas.
