This Monday we will receive Reconciliation.  Students brought home a little review for it.  We will also review before we go to Church.  We have asked kids to examine their conscience and prepare for this as we make our way into the Advent Season.

Report cards will be sent home Friday, December 8.  Please keep the report card but send back the signed envelope.

There is a presentation on the Dark Side of Cyberspace December 6 from 6-8 pm in Donovan Hall.  This presentation is for parents only.  There will be a modified version for students, grades 4-8, during school on that same day.
