Christmas Concert: Thursday morning we will practice for the concert at St. Mary's.  For the evening performance students need to arrive by 6:30, give all coats, hats etc. to their parents, and then meet on the steps to the left of the entrance. Once they have completed their portion of the program they will proceed to the balcony and sit in the available seats until the program is complete. Parents will be asked to come to the balcony to pick up their child after the program.


Economic Mall: Friday students will shop at the Economic Mall put on by the 8th graders.  They can shop for members of their families.  Most items are between 50 cents and $3.  Please send in money if you'd like your child to be able shop.  


Happy Birthday Jesus: Instead of a Christmas party, we will sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. 


8th grade Buddies: If you wish to get your child's 8th grade buddies anything additional for Christmas (we already made them stockings in class), please send it in by Thursday morning.
