Where in the world did November go? The temperatures have certainly plummeted. Winter must have decided it had waited long enough! Don’t forget to send warms coats, hats and gloves now that the temperatures have dropped.
On Wednesday we had noisy can collection for our Adopt-a-Family. We raised approximately $200 from our collection and we need about $200 more to hit our goal. Tomorrow we have a spirit day. Students can wear sweats for $1 and they can also wear a hat for an additional $1. All money collected tomorrow will also go to our Adopt-a-Family. Thank you for your help with this project!
This week was our first week of Advent Angels. This week our students met with their Angel for the first time and wrote postcards to our St. Malachy Alumni.
A few things are coming up to note in your calendar:
