Dear Friends,
Today is the first Sunday of Advent. This is an often overlooked and underrated time in the liturgical year. This time is clouded with holiday shopping, decorating, and parties. We often miss the real meaning of the season.
Advent is a time to prepare for the coming of God's greatest gift, his Son. Similar to a child's anticipation of Christmas morning we are waiting with great anticipation for the birth of our Savior. As you may prepare your home with decorations and lights to welcome special guests, we must also prepare ourselves to welcome the most special guest, Jesus Christ.
It is important to take a little time during the hustle and bustle of the season to rest, relax, and prepare yourself with moments of quite reflection. One of my favorite ways of doing this is through quite contemplation, with a little help from calming music such as this:
I wish you all a Happy Advent.
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal

Soup Drive for Homes for the Brave
Halfway to Our Goal: 550 Cans All Ready Collected
Mrs. Riehl, Mrs. Loreng, and the PK3 class will once again collect canned soup for Homes for the Brave. Every Monday, until the Super Bowl, students and staff are asked to donate canned soup. As a thank you, Mr. Santoli will allow anybody that donates to wear their favorite football (or any sport) jersey over their uniform.
Homes for the Brave provides emergency shelter for homeless veterans as well as counseling, housing, and career guidance.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
It is our goal to have all students arrive and leave school in a safe and orderly fashion. This is impossible without you strictly following these simple procedures. The time you might save by cutting corners is not worth the potential of hurting someone.
Morning Drop-Off
- The safest and quickest method of drop off is to pull in front of the school and pull forward as far as possible up to the flag pole. When your car is parallel to the curb, allow your children to leave on the curbside of the car and walk behind the cones to the main door.
- If you choose to park and help your child carry a large project or other materials, park inside the coned area and cross at the painted crosswalk to the main door.
- Kindergarten and PK parents should park on the far side of the cones and walk their children into the flagpole doors and to the classrooms.
Afternoon Pick-Up
ALL CARS MUST PARK INSIDE THE CONED AREA
- Drive forward to the basketball hoop and turn left in front of the school. Drive to the furthest available row and pull all the way up to the car in front of you facing the church.
- If you arrive after 3:00 PM, pull forward to the basketball hoop and form a neat straight line to the left and facing the school.
- Exit your vehicle and walk to the grass area. Your children will be lined up on the sidewalk with their teachers. Make contact with the teacher to indicate you are taking your child. walk your child back to your car and wait for the cones to be lifted to exit the parking lot safely.
NO CONES SHOULD BE MOVED OR CARS MOVING WHILE STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE WALKING IN THE LOT.
When everyone follows the procedure our entire dismissal process takes no more than 15 minutes. If you have extreme circumstances and need to return to work or you are physically unable to walk to pick up your child, notify the main office and accommodations will be made for you.
