| Dear Parents, It's been great to see our students dressing in Christmas themes the past couple days for our Christmas spirit week; everyone is definitely getting in the holiday spirit! We hope you will join us for our Art Show and Christmas Concert this Sunday; see details below. The second quarter is quickly coming to an end, and exams are next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (see exam schedule below). Please encourage your daughters to finish the quarter strong, to ask their teachers for help if needed, and to study for exams. A well-deserved break for all is on the horizon! The theme for this second week in Advent is Peace. May the Peace of Christ be with you and your family as we await the birth of our Lord. Have a wonderful weekend! Mercy and compassion always in our hearts, Connie Kampschmidt Principal |
