A Note from the Principals


Happy Monday on this beautiful 3rd week of Advent. This week we focus on the joyful celebration that is coming next week. This is very reflective of how each of our students are feeling right now. They joy and excitement are real in this last week of school. Please join us in celebrating the arrival of the baby Jesus on Thursday evening in the church. Students should meet in their classrooms at 5pm. The show will begin at 5:30pm. Please have your students wear bright Christmas attire. Please no black or jeans (boys may wear black slacks but no black jackets). The best way to spread the joy is to share it with others! Feel free to invite a friend to join you at our Christmas program :) 

Please send in a Christmas food donation for our Pan de Vida food pantry this week. Pan de Vida provides food and support to families who need a little extra help during the holiday season and all year long. We are collecting canned foods, soup, and boxed stuffing. Thank you for your generosity!

Tuition reminder: The school office will be closed from Thursday Dec. 19th to January 6th. In order to avoid a late fee please stop by this week to make your payment. Thank you! 

Have a great week!
Mrs. Giron & Ms. Aceves

THE DIGITAL PARENT
Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century

This tip is from: CommonSenseMedia.org

Many children will receive new gaming systems and devices this Christmas season. There are so many games on the market it is almost impossible to know what each is about and/or if they are appropriate for your child. The website above: CommonSenseMedia.org rates & reviews all games (and movies, tv shows, etc) for content. It's a great way to check to see if the game you are allowing your children to play is appropriate for them.

A Note from the Principals


Thank you everyone for your participation in our bookfair last week. It was a HUGE success! We made more at this year's bookfair than we have in the last 5 years! 

This week we will be hosting Santa's Workshop on Thursday for students to participate in the joy of picking out their own gifts to give their families. We provide inexpensive items for your children to pick out, purchase, (create crafts), and wrap all on their own! If you would like to donate items or volunteer all day on Thursday please login to schoolspeak  to sign-up or see Ms. D in the office.

We will also be hosting a parent's night on on Friday evening from 6pm-9pm so you can do your own Christmas shopping too! Drop the kiddos off with us. We'll feed them dinner and keep them entertained while you take some time for yourself during the Christmas rush.

Our Christmas Program will be at 5:30pm on Thursday Dec. 19th. Please drop off students in their classrooms at 5pm. We ask that all students wear holiday attire- NO black please (black slacks for boys is ok). The program will be in the church this year!

A Happy Birthday Wish goes out to Mrs. Goff (Friday 12/13), our Kindergarten aide. May she continue to do God's work with our children.
