Weekly Notes for December 14
Message from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Well, it's here!! This is the week of the Big Christmas Show, time to celebrate Christ's birth before break, and time to finish up the last minute school projects to go home for the holidays.
I pray that we all take many deep breaths and enjoy the excitement of everything going on with out getting overwhelmed with the busyness of it all.
My wish to you is that you take time to reflect on the peace of believing in the baby, born in a manger, who came to forgive our sins.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Shelly Matthews
