PTO News
| | Santa's Christmas Corner is right around the corner!
The PTO annually sponsors Santa's Christmas Corner. This year it will be held in the Parish Center from December 6th through December 9th.

Please emphasize to your child that this is not an opportunity to shop for himself or herself. Merchandise is priced from $1 to $12.
For students in grades Pre-K through 2, please use the "Shopping List" envelope that is being sent home on Thursday to indicate for whom your child will be shopping and the amount to be spent. This will be a big help for the parent volunteers who will be at Santa's Christmas Corner to assist the students.

8:00-9:00 - W-7

St. Anastasia Catholic Church News
| Congratulations to the newest Altar Servers at St. Anastasia Catholic Church. Many of the servers are students at St. Anastasia and spent several months training under St. A's mom, Mrs. Victoria Weideman. The servers had to pass a written test as well as a "mock mass" with Father George. After they passed the training, each server was officially made an Altar Server at a Sunday mass. There are four other new Altar Servers who will be pictured in next week's newsletter. Way to go!
Congratulations to the newest Altar Servers at St. Anastasia at top: Josh Kimmelman, Abbey Capezza, Hannah Barbare, William Picchiarini and Jack Leach (at the 9:30 a.m. mass on Nov. 12); middle: Kyle Trabulsy (at the 7:45 a.m. mass on Nov. 12); and at bottom: Jose Mathews, Gwen Anderson, Kellen Brown, Smarlensly Altenor and Gabby Richards (at the Nov. 19th 9:30 a.m. mass).
