Heaven Cents!

I am so proud of our school and my class! We have been so generous with our extra dollars and change to help families in need. As a school, we raised $3278.02!! All the money will go toward buying gifts for families that need help this Christmas season. Way to go Panthers!!

Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Did you put your shoes out last night? We did before church this morning and St. Nicholas came bringing treats! We were also treated with a visit from the Archbishop. He celebrated mass with us and blessed the candy canes. Candy canes are symbols of the generosity of St. Nicholas!
