DECEMBER

Happy December everyone!!  
Where did November go? 

As December starts, so does Advent and we are reminded of the magical time before Christmas.  We will be using these next few weeks to prepare our hearts for the coming of our Saviour!  There will be many songs, prayers and other exciting activities in the days to come!
Throughout my Advent season,  the students of SJA are making a difference in their community by collecting non-perishable food items and toiletries to support Morrison Gardens. Our School Council continues the tradition of collecting hats, mittens and socks for the Shepherds of Good Hope. Your donations are much appreciated.  

A reminder that  we will celebrate an Advent Mass held at St, John the Apostle Church tomorrow, December 2nd at 7:00 pm.  Please come if you can!

Also, tomorrow there will be class picture retakes.  Please remind your son/daughter to show up with a big smile!! 

A few reminders about transportation. If your child is going to be away for the day, please call STS at and let the staff know.  They can alert the drivers.  
If there is inclement weather and the busses are cancelled, so are the vans.  This means there will be no transportation to or from St. John the Apostle for our kids.  The link to OSTA is on this blog. Check it out if you are unsure!! 



Here are our word wall words for the week!











Your child may have told you that we received a special Tweet from a little elf today! Murphy the Elf has returned to SJA to help keep Santa informed of all of the wonderful things that he sees!  Murphy will chat with us on our class Twitter account and we will look for him in the school throughout the month of December.  We will keep a journal of all of the places we find him!  Stay tuned for more info about our little friend from the North Pole!

I hope everyone has a good week.  Keep checking your child's mail bag and agendas, our class Twitter account and this blog for important information and to hear about our exciting learning!!
