Christmas Celebrations 

December 19th
The final day before break is the traditional day for the 8th grade etiquette luncheon at St. Michael's Hall.  Following a unit of study in etiquette, the students are treated to a plated meal and are encouraged to engage in proper dinner conversation using proper utensils for each dish.  Parents of the eighth graders are often eager to help serve at this event.

On the same day, beginning at 2:00, each class enjoys a Christmas party, which is organized and facilitated by the room parents.  Please contact your room parent to find out how you can help celebrate on this day.  All are welcome!
