          Happy Holidays to all our families!  Where has 2007 gone?  Oh well, this is a joyous time of year as we all prepare for the coming of Jesus!  Before we send you on your way though, we wanted to remind you of a few things:

 

·         Laura McKnight wanted to apologize to anyone who got mixed up with the “Christmas Choir” practice that was supposed to be held last Monday.  She does want to let everyone know that any child who would like to sing is still welcome!  If your child would like to participate please have them at St. Joseph’s Chapel at 4:45 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

 

·         Is Santa bringing you a new gigantic flat screen TV for Christmas?  If so, one of the school’s TV’s died last week and we could really use another one, so we would be happy to take in any of those “old fashion TV’s”!!!!

 

·         Yippee! No Uniform for a Week!  Wouldn’t your child(ren) enjoy a week without wearing a uniform?  There is only one way to make sure that happens… Bring in your auction items and/or ads by January 11th.  The classroom with the highest percentage of families participating will be rewarded with a uniform free week.  Remember the success of the auction is dependent upon the participation of all Holy Spirit families!

 

·         Don’t forget that due to the rising cost of milk, hot lunch with milk will cost $2.25 and milk only will be .50 cents when we return from the holiday break.

 

·         YUMMY!!  Make sure you check out the back of this letter if you’re interested in purchasing homemade Christmas Breads from the Franciscan Sisters.  They will be taking orders through tomorrow, Dec. 21 or you can purchase some at their Bake Sale, Saturday, Dec. 22 from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at 1745 Pocatello Creek Rd.

 

·         To all HSCS families I extend a heart felt thank-you for your participation in our wonderful Christmas program.  I am so impressed with your children and have such a warm feeling in my heart for them.  The evening was truly magical. 

                        Thank-you to the parents who stepped up and helped direct “traffic” before the                    program - Tim Marks, Richard Howlett, Margie Gabiola and any other parents who                    helped with the pre-program line-up THANK-YOU!!!  It could have been a disaster and                     it wasn’t.  To the very amazing and incredible staff at HSCS:  I cannot thank-you                    enough for your support that you offer before these programs.  It definitely takes a                        village!!!  Thank-you Polly for making such beautiful program handouts!  To Nancy                            Corgiat, for her assistance and good energy, I am very grateful.  She also helped                          move instruments along with Father Ben and Debby Belcher.  Wow!!!  I love this                   school and the community that comes with it!!!  I am trying to get an audio CD                     with the transitions taken out, leaving only the music for people to listen to but am                            slow.  Could have been a good Christmas present!!!  It will still be great!  Thanks                     again and have a great Christmas!  Diana Shipley
