Dear Parents,
Many of you know that our music teacher, Mrs. Claire Miller, is due to have her first child in early January. She has just been put on bed rest by her doctor until the birth of her baby. The baby is fine; this is just precaution.
At this time we are cancelling the Children’s Christmas Program that was scheduled for December 20. We are sorry to disappoint you. Maybe there will be a chance in the spring to hear our budding stars in kindergarten and grades one, two and three. Thanks for understanding.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception: Tomorrow is a holy day…the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Bishop Foys says that all diocesan schools will be closed tomorrow in honor of the holy day. Please check the mass schedule for St. Agnes so you can get your children to mass to celebrate the day. Ask your children what the Immaculate Conception means, they know.
Swaddled in Love for Christmas: The weather has changed and everyone needs a warm coat, sweater or sweatshirt. It may be that your children are still growing and their coat/sweater/sweatshirt will no longer fit them next year. If there is not another child in the family to pass it down to, why not pass it on to us? Our Advent service project will help to swaddle those less fortunate in warmth and love. We are asking for donations of gently used coats, sweaters, jackets or sweatshirts for the local shelters. Each time your child brings in a warm clothing item, he or she will get to add a “heart”
