A RETURN FROM A HOLIDAY AND
A PERIOD OF PREPARATION!
As we "ignite" the paper flame of the second purple candle of our school Advent wreath this weekend, we continue to anticipate the Birth of Our Lord! There has been much excitement in the school building this week, as we celebrate not only First Friday, but also the Feast of Our Patron Saint! With St. Francis' Feast Day falling on the weekend this year, it was decided to Focus on Frankie on First Friday! Father began First Friday by hearing student confessions in the library beginning at 7:30am, and immediately following, celebrated Holy Mass for us in the school gymnasium!
While Father had to "run off" quickly to the parish for 9am Mass, our students and staff "stuck around" in the gym for a presentation on the life of St. Francis given by 8th grader Jacob Florent, a visit from Frankie the Rebel, a small dance party, and a Feast Day special treat distributed to all! If that wasn't enough excitement, our school community also had a "sneak peek" of our upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz during the brief assembly! Still not enough holiday excitement? Come Monday, our students will participate in our annual tradition of placing handmade paper shoes in the hallway for a visit from St. Nicholas. If our boy and girl "rebels" have been really good, we may even have a visit from St. Nicholas on his Feast Day as well!
As we turn our calendars to the month of December, and our teachers turn their gradebooks to the second trimester, we realize how far we have come and how much we have accomplished already this school year!
Thank you for your continued support and open communication.
Have a wonderful weekend.
