December 11-15 newsletter

Hello, Kindergarten Families!

Happy second week of Advent! As we will be praying in class,

“This is the second week of Advent. We light the candle of hope from last week. Today, we light the candle of peace.” 

Thursday, December 14th, is the all-school Christmas program. Please drop your child off in KB between 5:30pm and 5:45pm. Students need to arrive in “Sunday best” attire. The church will open up at 5:30pm for families. 

Friday 12/15 – Students can dress in Christmas colors! There will be a 12 PM dismissal. There will be no lunch on Friday.

During the month of December, we have two school-wide projects going on and families are encouraged to participate as you feel comfortable and are able. Thank you for those who have contributed so far.

For the preschool – grades 6, we will be collecting diapers, pull-ups, wipes, and new or gently used coats and kids clothing for Westside Baby and other local organizations that support families in our Seattle Community. The junior high will also be collecting adult coats and a few other items to support outreach ministries at St. James Cathedral. 

The tree lot is open!  Be sure and stop by to shop for a tree or wreath and support HRS.
