Week 11-26 to 11-30 

Hope your vacation and time spent with family and friends was wonderful!  We are going into the season of Advent where we will prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus.  As a class we will be preparing Jesus's manger.  Each time a student does a good deed for someone, they will add a piece of straw to the manger.  We know that doing things for others is a gift for Jesus.  Ask them about this great activity at home!
