Thank you to all who took an ornament or two from our Blessing Tree. The items are due Friday, December 12th.
We’d love to collect some gift bags and wrapping paper to gift our Blessing Tree families. You can drop these off in the car line on Thursday, December 11th, as you come or go to school, or bring them to the Winter Concert.
Our Winter Concert is tomorrow at 6 pm in the gym! We hope you'll join us!
