NOEL - Our Advent Elf     

Thursday, December 3 - Noel was opening up a window on Ms. Ernstberger's 4th grade Advent calendar.
 
 
Friday, December 4 - Noel was found in Mrs. Brock & Mrs. Chrisco's class reading a bible story about Jesus's birth to some classroom friends. 
    

Monday, December 7 - Noel was so excited to finally smell the fragrances of Frankincense and Myrrh and see the "gold" on display in Mrs. Milliner's kindergarten classroom .  Noel had always wondered about the precious gifts the Wise Men had brought Baby Jesus. 



Tuesday, December 8 - Noel was found in Mrs. Naville's 2nd grade room reading a slip from the Advent Game the class has been playing.  She was reading the one that challenges the students to say something kind or perform an act of kindness today.  Maybe she is wanting everyone in our school to give someone a nice compliment today! 


Wednesday, December 9 - Noel left a special message on the window for Mrs. Gilland's fifth graders. 
  
Providence Popcorn Players   
The Providence Popcorn Players performed for the students last Friday. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces. We are so proud of our St. Paul Catholic School Graduates, pictured below!

Grade 6 Service Project 
Some of our 6th grade students participated in a voluntary service project after school.  For community service hours they made fleece blankets to donate to Exit Zero for the homeless.  Many of the students had completed their required service hours and showed up to help anyway! Thank you to The New Washington State Bank for their donation to help cover cost of purchasing the fleece.
