It is the Third Week of Advent, and while there isn't really a name for the candles, this one is often referred to as the candle of Joy. May this week remind us of the JOY of the season in spite of all the busy activities and all the errands we still need to do!
Tomorrow is the CHRISTMAS CONCERT. There will be a matinee at 1pm and an evening performance at 7pm. Please have the students back to the school no later than 6:45pm IN THE CLASSROOM. Pick up is also in the classroom, I cannot release the students to you in the gym after the performance. If you are here at the matinee, you are welcome to take your child home after the show. See you then!
Wednesday is PAJAMA DAY-- we will be coming to school in our pj's and watching The Polar Express. Woohoo!
Thursday is sort of like a regular day, as much as we can keep routine. Finally, Friday is our last day for the Christmas Holidays. DISMISSAL IS AT NOON! Please be prompt as the office also closes early that day!
There is new information about the Hot Lunch that was sent home last month, if you are still unsure about the new procedures, please check the school website.

We will start discussing Advent this week and encourage you to have an advent wreath at home to help you count down to Christmas Day.

Rosary Test tomorrow! FAQ based on email that I have received:
Does my kid need to know all the mysteries?
Yes, they need to know all 20 mysteries.
Is there an easy way to memorize them?
The mysteries are based on Mary and Jesus' lives. If you do it in this order: Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, Glorious, they will make sense. Also, just use the main idea and paraphrase if needed-- for example, Crowning of Mary, or Baptism of Jesus works just as well.
Does spelling count?
Spelling does not count, as long as I can read it.
Thursday is a non-uniform day! The mission team from Holy Cross will be visiting to talk about their Mission Trip. To support their cause, wear Filipino flag colours (yellow, white, red and blue) and bring a $1.00 for donation.
Friday is also non-uniform! Dress like a Holy person day! Students who are not is costume will have to wear their uniform.
Friday is also FOOD BANK MASS. Our class is in charge of the Mass on Friday. If your child does not have a part in this Mass, please rest assured that they will have a part in subsequent Masses. They will have their turn.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Thanksgiving
to me always signals the beginning of holiday season. I know, I know,
Christmas is still a long ways off, but the family gatherings and eating
the turkey reminds me of the blessings we have received this year and
the fun times ahead! I wish you and your families a wonderful
Thanksgiving weekend. I hope that you all have a great time
together.Cherish it... soon we will be taking out the tree!Walk-a-thon tomorrow! It is a uniform day. Students are allowed to wear their uniform OR gym strip. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for walking outdoors. Thank you to all the parent volunteers. We will be going to Mass at 9am and then walking afterwards. We should be back in plenty of time for Hot Lunch.
No homework tonight and for the weekend...unless your child is missing assignments... they know who they are!

The students went for Confessions and Adoration today. It was really nice to see them take the Sacrament so seriously. The smiles they had when they walked out of the confessional were so joyful!
Those of you who put in Book Orders for September, the books have arrived and your children will receive them on Monday. THANK YOU for your orders! You earned us new novels for the classroom!
Our class total so far for walk-a-thon is $908. WOW! We are almost halfway to our class goal of $1860. Please go out there and get more pledges this weekend!!! It's our last push!
