Last Week for These Special December Advent Celebrations
Lower School Service Project
Beginning Monday, December 9 and going through Monday, December 16 Lower School students may bring in small, stocking stuffer items to place under the Christmas trees in the first and second floor commons. On December 17 these items will be taken to Parish Hall so that families who receive assistance from the St. Paul's food pantry will be able to pick up a few items to give their children Christmas morning. We know that many families contributed to the St. Paul's food drive just a few weeks ago and that, in general, this is a time when lots of organizations are asking for donations so please know there is no expectation for participation. However, we did want to provide this opportunity in case families were interested in giving to a great cause. Please see the flyer for more information.

Musical Offerings on the Second Floor
Beginning on Wednesday, December 4 and going through Thursday, December 19 we will end our chapel services with musical offerings provided by our third through fifth grade students. Any student who wishes to share a musical piece may sign up with Mrs. Jones. Students are welcome to sing or play an instrument, and all ability levels are welcome. We look forward to celebrating this special time of year and enjoying the musical offerings our students share.

Second Floor Family Christmas Tree
Students on the second floor are welcome to bring in a family picture to hang on our Christmas tree. Students will hang their ornaments at the end of chapel and will also be able to make a wish as they hang their ornament. We will hang ornaments Monday through Thursday until Thursday, December 19.
