I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break filled with delicious food and lots of quality family time.
Thank you to several of our fourth and seventh grade families who volunteered at Youthfront's Something to Eat Ministry and packaged over 5,000 meals for families affected by the typhoon in the Philliippines. Your time and commitment to serving others will make a big difference to those affected by this disaster. If you would like to read more about this service project see the article that was published in the Saturday edition of the Kansas City Star.

In Harmony Performances
We have a wonderful group of about sixty students who have been enthusiastically participating in our In Harmony choir rehearsals every Monday morning at 7:15! Under the direction of Tamara Everly and Maria Meli, these students are working hard to learn and perform numerous Christmas songs. They will share their talent and hard work with our school community at all school chapel on Friday, December 13. On Monday, December 16, the students will sing at two divisional chapels and then perform at three local assisted living facilities. They will leave campus at 9:15 and return at 11:30 after singing at Bishop Spencer Place, Brighton Gardens, and Clarridge Court. Much thanks to Tamara Everly and Maria Meli for providing these wonderful opportunity for our students. If your child elected not to participate this fall, he or she is welcome to join In Harmony in January when our new Spring choir will begin.
