St. Cecilia families,

Click here to view the Take Home Tuesday for this week.

Book Fair started today and continues through next Thursday, December 14th! We are also hosting a Donuts with Grownups event this Friday, December 8th, from 7 - 8:15 AM to provide extra time to purchase books. Our school keeps 55% of the book fair profits for use in the classroom and library, so each purchase directly benefits our school!

As a school community, we are planning to have our families and staff serving through various forms of ministry at a weekend Mass. Our plan is to focus on engaging the different grade level groups throughout the year, starting with 6th - 8th grade. On December 10th at 10:30 am we are excited to have our students, staff and families participating in a special way at Mass. We encourage your family to attend, participate and stay for the pancake breakfast in the Cafeteria! We ask any students attending with their families to wear their school uniforms so our parishioners are able to see their presence within the congregation. Our school families and staff will get to participate by bringing up the gifts, greeting parishioners, choir singing during communion, serving, reading and as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. We hope you are able to join us!

Operetta theme is Willy Wonka, Jr! We are excited for our students to perform Willy Wonka, Jr. on February 28th, 29th & March 1st.

- Auditions are December 14th & 15th from 3:30 - 5:30 PM (grades 5 - 8 only). Check audition sign up time for student's exact date/time.

- CLICK HERE to purchase the Operetta shirt for this year! Students are able to wear this for the performances in the chorus as well (so no sweaters if they have a shirt). Store closes 12/26 (good Christmas present idea)!

December Lunch Calendar is attached. Click here if you're available to help prepare lunches and serve our kids. Thank you to all our volunteers for giving their time and talent!

May we all have a hopeful first week of the season of Advent!

Mrs. Stoffel
