ADVENT ANGELS
For each week of Advent you will pick a new Advent Angel
Every student will write down their names with some of their favorite snacks and treats
Each week you will give your Advent Angel a snack and a prayer and a treat and a kind note
These are all due on Tuesday of each week.
Then once I see that I have 6 snacks and prayers – they will be given out on Wednesday
Then on Friday the treat and kind note will be given out – again once I see that I have all 6
For the prayer - It can be just a little prayer you wrote for your advent angel ~
Example ~ Dear Bethany, today you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a great day – Good Luck on your Reading Test today – I know you’ll do great and I’m praying for you! Love your advent angel
Then you need to decorate it, color it and attach a little snack to it.
The kind letter to your Advent Angel should tell them about a character trait that you admire in them. – with a little treat/gift – like cookies or a candy bar or chapstick. . .
The letter must be kind and sincere – AND about a character trait. I have a list of character traits attached to help you with this.
Then decorate the letter, color it and attach a little treat or gift
Remember to write who the prayer/snack and letter/treat is to –
BUT it is from Advent Angel Merry Christmas
Happy Birthday Jesus

Ash Wednesday
Take inspiration for your Lenten journey from prayer and the reading of Scripture, from fasting and from giving alms.
Prayer – Lent is essentially an act of prayer spread out over 40 days. As we pray, we are brought closer to Christ and are changed by the encounter with him.
Fasting – The fasting that we all do together on Fridays is but a sign of the daily Lenten discipline of individuals and households: fasting for certain periods of time, fasting from certain foods, but also fasting from other things and activities.
Almsgiving – The giving of alms is an effort to share this world equally—not only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time and talents.

We are looking forward to tomorrow, November 29, this year’s #GivingTuesday! Join with us and share the excitement of the giving season. We ask for your support of our Annual Fund, which helps bridge the gap between tuition payments and operating expenses.
As we prepare for tomorrow, we are reminded of the words shared earlier this year by our Student Council President Joseph Fanelli, Class of 2023:
“…. As we all know, this year is special. It is our school’s 100th year and it’s natural for us to look back and understand the responsibilities we have to live up to our school’s reputation that has so far taken 110 years to build.
The building of our school started on June 25, 1922. Fr. Wilson, the pastor of St. Ann’s Parish worked with the people of St. Ann to build the school and the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary agreed to teach the children who attended. Construction was completed on February 4, 1923. That first year there were 145 students. In 1958 a new building was added to make room for more students and Mother Rita became the principal of the new, bigger school. In 1986, St. Ann’s, Holy Trinity, St. Basil’s and St. Mary’s merged their schools. Then, on New Year’s Eve in 1989, the school name changed to Holy Family School. In the 1990s our school added Kindergarten and Preschool programs, the children at St. Joseph’s Parish joined our Holy Family “family” and Mrs. Dura became our first lay principal. In the 2000’s, Mrs. Dura handed her leadership to Mrs. Braca, then Mr. Dever and now to Mrs. D’Amelio. Today, in 2022, we celebrate our history and think about our future timeline. The most interesting thing about our timeline after 2022? It’s blank! It is now up to us to decide what will be written next.
As we work to build what comes next, we should think about the lessons of the past. In 1922, there were no airplanes, cars or highways, no cell phones or internet. A World War had just ended, the Great Depression would start just six years after our school was built, and a second horrible World War was coming soon. But, through all of that, our school survived and thrived. I think a big reason for that is because our Holy Family community of teachers, priests, sisters, parents and students focused on their faith and on living the teachings of Jesus. He taught us to love and serve one another the way he loved and served us. Those who came before us did just that. This is what makes our school different and why Holy family School has had a special place in this community for the past 100 years.”
Our school has indeed thrived. It has done so because of your support and the care and dedication of all of those who have come before us. We hope you will join us again this year, in honor of our rich history and strong values that have lasted 100 years.
As an extra incentive to give, all families who contribute to the Annual Fund on #GivingTuesday will be entered into a drawing for their student and a friend to enjoy a special lunch with the Principal. Help us spread the word by asking family and friends to contribute and join in the enthusiasm for supporting our wonderful school.
