For pajama day, many of them enjoyed hot chocolate and everyone enjoyed their bag of popcorn during the movie in the afternoon. Thank you to Mrs. Saharchuk for hosting all of the primary classes (KS, KO, 1, 2, 3) in her classroom for the viewing of Polar Express. By the way, Mrs. Saharchuk will be starting her maternity leave after the first week in January and we will be welcoming Mrs. Melissa Lemire into our CCS community.
Yesterday afternoon, our students participated in our Advent retreat which began outside in Mary's rose garden with a decade of the rosary. Afterwards, they rotated from classroom to classroom reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas and how they can prepare their hearts for Jesus' birth.
Candygrams were handed out at the end of the day and their Christmas crafts were sent home this week (edible Christmas tree, baby Jesus in manger, toy soldier from the Nutcracker) - unfortunately, their gift to you, parents, was going to be sent home today so you'll have to wait until January! Thank you to Gabriel for giving out Christmas pencils to every student and to Riley for sharing his Christmas treats with us.
I would like to wish each and every family a blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year - it has been a pleasure to teach your child and I can't wait until we begin again in January 2014!
