Shoe Liturgy - NEXT WEEK!

The shoe liturgy is right around the corner. If you aren't sure what the Shoe Liturgy is or have a questions or two about it, you can find more information here.  All shoes are donated to Treehouse, an organization in Seattle that works with foster children.

 

Advent Wreaths and Poinsettias

All orders may be picked up on December 3rd and 4th after school at the gym entrance. 

Thank you for your support of our 8th grade.

 

 

The Scholastic Book Fair - Next Week!

Tuesday, December 2 through Thursday, December 4
Stop by the SHS library to browse the great Scholastic collection of books offered during the fair.  
Extended hours: open from 8:30am until 6:00 pm each day!  
Don't forget Online Shopping!  Books purchased online during the online fair dates will add to our school book fair total.  Books ordered online will be delivered to the school with no shipping charge. Online orders will be sent after the close of our fair. Online shopping is open NOW until December 7.  Books make great holiday gifts!  Your generous participation brings new books to our school library and classrooms.  Check out the details at our fair homepage.

Morning ESS

Students arriving between 7- 8:10am may attend ESS in the gym. Students arriving after 8:10am should wait outside the school at either the main entrance or the lower lot MS entrance. This helps us to avoid a surge of kids entering the gym during the last few minutes of morning ESS.  Thank you for your cooperation.

 

There will be no after school ESS on Friday, December 19th, which is an early dismissal day.


Advent Concert: Our Holy Family Around the World

All students in K-8th grade participate in the Advent Concert. This year, the performance is on Thursday, December 18th at 6:30pm iin the Church. Students must arrive no later than 6pm to meet their classroom/homeroom teacher. Kindergarten will meet in the Youth Room of the Church, and 1st Grade will meet in the Parish Hall. All other grades will meet in their classrooms.

 

Concert attire: Students should be dressed nicely, like what they would wear for a picture with Santa Claus or for a family Christmas card. Acceptable clothing includes slacks, skirts, dresses, button-up shirts, blouses, polo shirts, etc. Please do not wear jeans, high heeled shoes, or hats. Jewelry, neck-ties, and bow-ties make great festive accessories. 

 

Edmodo: Lyrics and recordings of each grades' songs are now posted on Edmodo! Please visit your grade's Music Edmodo group and open the folder for that grade. You can then view or print the lyrics and sing along with the recordings to practice. We have less than 3 weeks to prepare after we get back from Thanksgiving Break, so please take advantage of this tool.

 

Grading: We considered giving grades for attending the Advent Concert this year, but since we did not get this communication out to parents earlier, we have decided against it. We strongly encourage everyone to attend our once-a-year all school concert, but there will be no grade attached to whether or not students attend.

 

Thank you for helping our students prepare for this wonderful concert. If you have any questions, please contact  Ms. McDougall.
