The first week of Advent is a week of Hope. This week prepares us to be people of hope and believe that darkness will not prevail, but the light of the world will overcome it. Monday mornings during Advent we will walk the students directly from the playground to the Church for all school morning prayer. The rest of the week we will meet with our department, grades 3-5 in the hallway outside of our classroom for morning prayer led by students.  Dress uniform on Friday as we celebrate The Feast of the Immaculate Conception with an all school mass.
