Sorry for the confusion... Our Christmas Concert will begin in the gym at 1:20 in the gym. See you then!!!

Week at a Glance & Important Tid Bits....

We are now into our third week of Advent.  The children have been preparing their hearts and patiently waiting for Jesus' birthday to arrive.  With that, there are many celebrations happening with in our school....

Wednesday December 16 is Pyjama Day for grades K-6.  We look forward to all dressing in their finest p.j. attire ;)

Also on Wednesday December 16 is the day of our Kinder Concert.  We will begin promptly at 1:30 in the gym.  We will then continue our Christmas celebration in the classroom building Gingerbread Houses. We invite all (Grandma's, Grandpa's, siblings) to our concert. However, we do ask that only mom's and dad's come along to the class to assist with the gingerbread houses.  Space in the classroom will be squishy!

God Bless!

The Christmas Story

Mrs. Val shared this with me and now I can't stop watching.  A beautiful view of the Christmas story through the eyes of children.  Enjoy

The Nativity

 We are recreating the Nativity Scene in our dramatic play area.  If you have anything at home that could help us, please send it in.  We are looking for angel wings and white gown, a brown pillow case (for Joseph to wear), and larger tea towels for shepherds to wear, outfits for 3 kings too! 

Many thanks for your help.  

Happy Holidays!

Let's give this Christmas Season...

December 1, 2015

 

 

 

 

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The Advent season has arrived and Christmas is just around the corner. Each of the classes at St. Gabriel School will be involved in our Advent project to help those in need. Each class, from Kindergarten through grade six, will contribute to allow us to prepare a “hamper” for 17 families from our adopted school.

Each student is being asked to bring in a specific item for the food hamper. Kinders in room 153 have been asked to donate 2 adult toothbrushes. If you are able, a donation of $2.00 for the family would also be most appreciated. Monies collected will go towards the purchase of a grocery store gift card for each family, so the family can purchase a turkey and fresh fruit and vegetables. New this year, we are also asking for donations of Canadian Tire money which will be used to purchase gifts for the families.

We encourage the students to complete a chore at home to earn their own money, so that they experience the gift of giving. Your child is invited to bring in a bottle of HONEY. We will be collecting the hamper items and money from Wednesday, December 3rd until Thursday, December 10th.

** Please note we also welcome donations of hats and mittens to send to families in need in our school board.  

Thank you for your generosity and support during the Advent Season.

God Bless,

St. Gabriel Catholic School Staff
