Hello Grade 2 families, 

As today is a snow day, I wanted to remind students that tomorrow is library day as usual.  Please remember to return your books so that you can get new books to bring home.  

 

Advent began yesterday December 3.  During the first week we focus on the virtue of hope!  We are reminded in the gospel readings to "stay awake", as we do not know the day nor the hour of our Lord's second coming.  Let this be a reminder to each of us to stay awake during this Advent season, as we prepare to welcome Christ into our hearts as we celebrate His birth at Christmas.
