Dear Parent,
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. We all have so much to be thankful for, and I pray that God continues to watch over and bless your families.
I have always been struck by the generosity of our families and grateful for all the kindness and support given to our school. During our recent Book Fair, I was again struck by your unwavering generosity. This year we asked for help in supporting All Saints Catholic School, as they build up their library with new books. All Saints was thrilled to be the recipient of your generosity. Thank you all so much!
A big shout out to our teachers who voted to honor our 30th Anniversary by skipping donations to personal SVdP classrooms and sending all the books to All Saints! Thank you to all the teachers! Our families, teachers and staff continue to do small things with great love. Thank you on behalf of all the families and students that have been touched by your generosity.
Advent begins on Sunday, November 27. During Advent it is a good time to slow down a bit, as we prepare for the greatest blessing in our lives. As we move through Advent, I invite you to take this time, as a family, to get ready for the birth of Jesus. I encourage you to stop, embrace, and enjoy the upcoming weeks.
All students in grades P-8 will participate in the EPS Advent Baby Shower sponsored by the Bishops’ Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities. All items donated need to be new. Items can be brought to the junior high commons from November 28-December 14. Below are the items most needed:
- Diaper Sizes: Newborn, Size 3, Size 5, Size 6 and Pull Ups
- Diaper Rash Cream
- Bottles
- Bibs
- Books
- Toys
- Body Wash
- Body Lotion
- Receiving Blankets
- Wipes
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you gather in thanksgiving and love over the next few weeks. I thank God for each of you!!
