Dear Parents,

First Reconci= liation is scheduled for Saturday, December 1^st at 10:00am in the Church. All students who have prepared to receive this sacrament should be at the church on time.

The Christmas= program for Pre-Kindergarten classes will be on December 18^th at 11:00am in the Pre-Kinderga= rten classroom. You should receive= more information from your child’s teacher.

The Christmas= program for Kindergarten through Eighth Grade is scheduled for 7:00pm on December 18^th. The program will take place in the church. You are welcome to ta= ke pictures and video during the performance.= Please be courteous of the people around you and do not block their = view with your cameras and video equipment.&nbs= p; If you are planning to video tape you may wish to stand in the back = of the church or sit in the last row. Please remain in your seats during the performance; you are not permitted in the aisles for picture taking. It is very distracting and disresp= ectful to the performer when people are in and out of their seats. Young children should not be permi= tted to run around the church.

Students should arrive at the church for the Christmas= program no later than 6:45. They should be dressed in the= ir ‘Sunday Best’ attire.= The students that are in Band will= be performing at the beginning of the Program. They should arrive by 6:15 so that they may warm up and get their instruments ready.

You recently received information on our Christmas community service project. Thank you in advance for whatever contribution you can make to help the Children’s Home Society. Each year they are very appreciati= ve of the gifts we are able to collect and deliver to them.

Continue to send in your used ink cartridges and old cell phones. We were able to use so= me of the money collected to purchase boys softball uniforms last year! So if you get a new phone for Chri= stmas, we would be very happy to receive your old one.

The students will be released for Christmas vacation a= t 11:30am on Thursday, December 20^th. Please take note that all students= will need to be picked up at this time, there will be no extended day care service on December 20^th.

T= he Staff at Blessed Trinity wish for you and your family a very relaxing and Blessed Christmas Day! Enjoy your time away from the scho= ol routine; we will welcome the students back on January 3^rd, 2008. Happy New Year!!!<= /o:p>
