The Christmas House fundraiser will include this year a chance for all kids and families to do a little “Old Fashioned Christmas Caroling”.
Please join us on the front pouch of the Christmas House at 6pm. Caroling will begin at 6:15 pm. Our own Mrs. Beckman will lead all of us in some “good old fashioned Christmas fun” singing songs kids have been practicing in school and songs adults already know like... O Come all Ye faithful, Deck the Halls, Joy to the World, The First Noel, Silent Night, Hark the Herald Angels and We wish you a Merry Christmas. Caroling should be about 10 minutes. Donuts and cider will be served after. What a fun and festive way to start your holiday season and be a part of our Holy Family School Community! |

Notes from Principal's desk:
With the business of Christmas shopping, decorating houses, and wrapping presents, it is important to remember that Advent has begun. Advent is the season of joyful expectation. We need to take time to focus on this spiritual preparation. As a school community, we will be exploring many avenues during Advent amidst the frantic energy of preparing for December 25. For example, students will be “lighting” the candles on our Advent wreath and praying and reflecting on the readings of Advent during our morning prayers. We will continue our service project to gather items for boxes to help other families. If you are looking for activities to help explore Advent as a family visit Catholicsprouts.com/advent.
We are excited about our fundraiser at the Christmas House tomorrow, Dec. 5 from 5 pm – 7pm. The students will be singing carols on the porch at 6:15. Come get some shopping done and have part of the proceeds go to Holy Family and hear our students sing.
The Book Fair is in full swing. Beware, in keeping with the Artic theme, there may be a polar bear roaming the halls and visiting classrooms. This is a very special polar bear that loves to read! If you haven’t made a visit to the Book Fair stop in or shop right from home, ordering on line.
Finally, we need substitute teachers. If you are interested, please stop in my office. I would be happy to review the requirements with you and help you with the necessary steps to complete the process. Have a wonderful rest of the week and God Bless you all.

Box Tops
My name is Mary Griffin and I am the Box Tops for Education Coordinator for Holy Family. I want to alert you to a major change that is happening with the Box Tops program – namely, a transition from clip-able Box Tops to digital (scan-able only) Box Tops. Please open and read the attached handouts, which explain the transition in more detail.
I will be available at the Parent & Guardian Information Night on Thursday, September 19th to answer questions about the “new” Box Tops program, and to provide assistance with the Box Tops app.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Holy Family and the Box Tops for Education program. Since Holy Family began participating in this program, we have earned a total of $21,640 for our school. I hope we can continue to utilize this program to the best of our abilities to continue supporting Holy Family.
Please email me at 3m.n.griffin@gmail.com if you have any questions or need any assistance with the Box Tops app.
