Christmas Programs
We hope you'll join us as we celebrate the holiday season. Our first Christmas program will be put on by our third through fifth grade students on Thursday, December 4th at 7 PM. Upon arrival students should gather with teachers in the under croft of the church. Due to construction, we ask that all parents and guests enter the church through the main entrance on 40th street. Students are welcome to enter using the entrance near the school parking lot. Please see Mrs. Everly's blog for more information about arrival time and dress attire. Our first and second graders will perform on Friday, December 12th at 9:15 in the North MPR. We look forward to sharing the joy of the season with you at these special performances.
Read For 2015
Our third through fifth grade students are gearing up to read for 2015 seconds to celebrate the upcoming New Year. On the afternoon of Friday, December 5th these students will gather in the second floor commons as they enjoy a good book followed by hot chocolate and cookies. Students are welcome to bring a small stuffed animal or pillow to lay on as they delve into their books.

In Harmony Field Trip
Our first semester of In Harmony Choir is wrapping up and will culminate in a field trip where students can showcase all they've learned. On Monday, December 15th all participants who've missed fewer than three practices will travel to Crown Center as well as two local living facilities to share their love of music with shoppers and/or residents. Much thanks to Mrs. Everly and Senora Meli for helping lead these young performers.
Ice Skating Field Trip
On Friday, December 19th our 3rd through 5th grade students will go ice skating at Line Creek Community Center. We hope to skate from 9:45-11:45. Students are welcome to bring their own ice skates/hockey skates if they wish but skates will be provided. Students may bring $3 or less if they would like to purchase something from the snack bar. We would love to have you join us for this fun event. There is an adult fee of $4 for any adult wishing to skate. Maybe we'll see you there!
Advent Happenings
This week in chapel on the second floor we've talked about sharing our light with others during this Christmas season. We've talked about several ways to do this including:
1. Bringing in stocking stuffer item(s) for our Lower School Service Project which will benefit children whose families receive help from the St. Paul's Food Pantry
2. Singing or playing a musical instrument during our daily divisional chapels. Students may sign up with Mrs. Jones or their classroom teacher. Musical offerings will begin Monday, December 8th and continue through Thursday, December 18th.
3. Celebrate their family and share a wish for the world
Students can make and share a family ornament to hang on the second floor tree during chapel.
