The first grade class did another amazing job at mass this morning!  I am so proud of how well they did!  I tried to get a picture of everyone at mass.  Here are all the pictures -

After mass we had a dog race.  The classes earned a dog by participating in our fundraiser.  The class whose dog won the race won a pizza party.  Our dog Fuzzy gave it a great try, but he came in second place.  The sixth graders won the pizza party.

After morning recess we had an awesome Christmas party!  Thank you to Miles' mom, Mrs. Jilg, for organizing everything!  The kids made beautiful ornaments, wrapped their friends in toilet paper to make them into snowmen, and ate some snacks.  They had a great time!

 Luke is very enthusiastic about picking up the toilet paper.  :)

Rudolph!

This morning we finished our Jesse Tree.  We read the last Bible story and we added the star to the top of our Jesse Tree.  It was fun listening to a Bible story each morning.

The first graders have been very busy crafting this week!  In these bags are amazing treasures!  They were so excited to make these crafts and put them under your Christmas trees!  (PS - Their gifts turned out so beautiful!)

Thank you to Calla - She bought a Christmas present for Samantha Snowbell.  That sneaky elf changed into her outfit when no one was in the room.  I snapped a picture to share with you.  She'll be heading back to the North Pole.  We can't wait to see her again next year!  :)

Thank you so much for all the Christmas cards, scrip, presents, and your presence.  :)  I am truly blessed to be a part of the Holy Cross community!  It is a very special place!  Enjoy family, friends, and fun this vacation!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
