Today we performed our Christmas play for different classes. The kids were wonderful. I will post  the entire performance for those parents who were unable to attend.

Our final Advent Mass : Mass tomorrow morning at St. Joseph's. See you there!

Today was our Christmas party and secret Santa. It was great ! Thanks to everyone who cooked, baked, stirred, bought and brought such delicious treats.

We had cake pops, candy, chips, cupcakes, tea biscuits, donuts, chocolate covered marshmallows and fingers, curly fries, samosas, pizza, pop and more. Thanks for your generosity. It was a great day!

Special thanks for the absolutely beautiful presents I received today. I feel so blessed by your loving thoughts, words and gifts.  You are all fabulous.  See you tomorrow!

GINGERBREAD HOUSES

Dear Parents, 
On Friday the 13th, we will be making Gingerbread Houses. Each child will make their house. The kits are available at Walmart, Loblaws Superstore and most major groceries. They are about ten dollars each. Most kits include the pre made royal icing and candy. Some kits (particularly those available at the Bulk Barn) only provide the gingerbread and you must make your own icing and candy. Please read the labels carefully. I recommend you buy the ginger bread kit with the icing and candies provided. If you do not, please ensure that your child brings already made royal icing and candies. Please send the items in by Tuesday, December 11th. Thank you, Ms. Babb Please let me know if you are unable to bring in your child's item as soon as possible.

We make our  gingerbread houses tomorrow!!! Don't forget your icing and your kits!!!

Walmart, the Superstore or No Frills have kits for about $12

Today we watched the Nativity Story. Consider the following questions:

The Nativity is a love story. What are some of the examples of love that we find in this story?

How did Joseph show his love for Mary ?

If you were God, would you have chosen the same method to reach humanity? Why or why not?

Like all Jewish women, Mary surely knew the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14. Why do you think she was still so surprised when Gabriel came to her?

How do you think you would respond if an angel of God appeared and spoke to you? Why?

Which of the gifts of the wise men would you most like to receive? Why?

If you were able to give Jesus a material gift today, what would you bring? Why?
