View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal In the life of a student, there are a few weeks in the school year that are the highlights...the first week, Christmas week, Catholic School's Week, and BOOK FAIR week! Today is the official beginning of our book fair. Please come by for a peek! We have so many special books that would be great for Christmas presents. Stop by anytime from 7:30am to 3:30pm to shop (with or without your kiddos). Yesterday was the first Sunday of Advent. It is a time of joy and preparation in the church. Please join for the next two Mondays at morning assembly for an Advent prayer service. If your child is in grades 2-8 and is interested in receiving their first communion this year (even if they are not baptized), please let me know before Christmas break.  Reminder: Mrs. Holcomb has requested parent volunteers to help her set up and prep art materials. If you are interested, please email her at MHolcomb@StJaneFrancesSchool.org. The hours available would be any time Monday-Wednesday. When you get a chance, could you please take a second to fill out the survey below for me? https://goo.gl/forms/EHzEcItXOmECRgfI2  Thank you!  With love, Mrs. Giron $0.50 for Socks!  The kindness club is collecting donations from grades TK-3rd to purchase socks for the nursing home across the street. That's all they want for Christmas, so please send in your donation ASAP. Save the Date Sun 12/2- 1st Sunday of Advent Monday 12/3: Bookfair!
