December 14, 2020This is the final Principal’s Newsletter of 2020. While this year has brought unprecedented challenges across our world, my hope is that each family will count and appreciate the blessings that God has granted us this year. We all have a lot to be thankful for! Please be careful over the break, and pray for a safe holiday season.

We recently taught our Kindergarteners about the Nativity and the wonderful gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh that were brought to Jesus. We asked our Kindergarteners what gifts they would bring to baby Jesus:
Gracie:
I would give baby Jesus a pizza because I like pizza.
Monroe:
I’d give baby Jesus a little soft stuffed monkey so He could bite it.
Trinity:
I would give baby Jesus a picture that was pretty.
Ashlynn:
I would give baby Jesus a small stuffed Mary that he could touch.
Itzzel:
I would give baby Jesus a teddy bear.
Sammy:
I would give baby Jesus a blanket and some bread and wine.
Hayden:
I would give baby Jesus some earmuffs, a blanket, and some cookies.
Daphne:
I would give baby Jesus a little stuffed bunny so that he could feel safe from the darkness.
