For Monday and Tuesday, students will wear their school uniforms to school. There will be a dress rehearsal on Monday afternoon so please make sure to send your child's clearly labelled white/light-coloured angel clothes in a plastic bag (leave in their backpack.) They will change after lunch.
For the evening performance on Tuesday, students are asked to return to the Bushey Room (in the Parish Centre) by 6:30pm wearing their white/light-coloured clothes. After the concert, parents can pick up their child from the same room.
Admission to the concert is a non-perishable food donation for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which assists families in need. Also, there will be beverages and baked goods for sale to support our Outdoor Education and Learning Assistance programs.
Final Uniform Clearance
Before our afternoon and evening Christmas Concerts this year we will be holding our final clearance sale of Unimax uniform pieces. Arrangements have already been made to send all unsold pieces to missions overseas. This will be your last chance to get uniform pieces at amazing discounts!
Changes to the Hot Lunch Program
Please note that a new Hot Lunch program will begin in January. Please read the information (if you haven't already done so) regarding the changes in ordering and with the provider. Parents will need to sign up, set up a profile, order and pay on line. One of the biggest changes is that Hot lunch (starting in January) will be every 2 weeks and not every week.
Holy Childhood Boxes
Our annual Holy Childhood Advent Boxes went out a little late this year. These boxes are meant to be a way for students to contribute to helping children by making little sacrifices of their own. Due to the late start, we will collect those boxes in the first week back to school after Christmas break.
Pajama Day/Movie Afternoon
On Wednesday, students are encouraged to wear their pajamas to school and enjoy a movie, in the gym, with the whole school.
There will be a popcorn and hot chocolate sale at first recess. Please send your child's money for popcorn and/or hot chocolate in a labelled ziplock bag in their blue homework folder.
Note: There will be no hot lunch on that day.
Advent Retreat
On Thursday, our students will be participating in an Advent retreat among the primary grades. Similar to the stations for 50's day, they will placed in groups and change classrooms every 10 minutes. They will participate in making a craft, watch a video, listen to a story, prayer and Bible reflection. It will be a great reminder for the students to keep Jesus in their hearts during the Christmas season.
Last Day of School
Our last of day of classes before Christmas break is Friday, December 20th. Please join us for Mass at 9:00 am. We will be having a noon dismissal on this day.
No Letter of the Week & No Star of the Week
We will resume with the letter Nn and Star of the Week on the week of January 6th
CCS Shopping Card Challenge
The Knights of Columbus are selling gift cards. Rather than going to two places, you can now pick up your child and get a gift card at the same time
(If doing so, please tell Miss Easterbrook and she can get the gift card for you). You can also stop by after every Sunday Mass and buy some then. It is a great opportunity to buy a gift card for someone for a birthday, special occasion or even Christmas. The proceeds from this will go to the Church's building fund. Our challenge is to try to sell the most gift cards so our class can win a pizza party.
