Dear Visitation Families,
Sunday begins the Advent season. This is a wonderful opportunity to help your children focus on the true purpose for our celebration: the birth of Our Lord. In the school, we will have our Advent wreaths and will be using them as a focus of our daily prayer. In Music class, students are learning traditional Advent songs (as well as practicing for the upcoming Advent Program!) and in Religion class there are discussions of the scripture readings used during Advent.
If you would like some ideas for celebrating as a family, come to the Lower Hall on Sunday, December 3rd from 11:30 to 2:00. You will have an opportunity to make an Advent Wreath and enjoy a wonderful bowl of chili. Check out the flyer in today’s Note Home envelope.
REMINDER: Next Monday will be a noon dismissal as teachers prepare report cards. There will be no hot lunch served. Extended Care will be available. Report cards will be sent home with students on Friday, December 8th, so check the backpacks!
THANK YOU: You might have noticed the beautiful wooden pew that is now sitting outside of my office. Thank you to Kate and Hal Amundson for generously donating it to the school.
TURKEY FEATHER WINNER: As you might have read in the Tacoma News Tribune’s Wednesday edition, Miss Fiona was the proud wearer of the lovely Turkey Feather Hat. Check out our weblog article for the full visual effect...
This contest brought in 580 food items and $57.25 to our food bank. Miss Fiona won with 485 feathers. Second place (280 feathers) was a tie between Mr. Manley and Mrs. Teich. Mrs. DM rounded out 3rd place with 170 feathers. Great job Visitation students!
YOU ARE INVITED: The monthly PTO meeting is Thursday, December 7th in the school cafeteria.The meeting starts at 7:00. Hope to see you there!!
GENEROSITY TO OUR SCHOOL: Thank you to the Knights of Columbus and John Klein for the generous gift of $1000.00 to our tuition assistance fund.
CONGRATULATIONS: To the winners of the VFW Essay Program for 2006!
Peace and Blessings,
Sheila Harrison
