The Advent Season, the 4 weeks prior to the celebration of Christmas, begins this Sunday, December 3rd. Advent means “coming” and during the season, Christians prepare for Jesus’ coming. Families traditionally use an Advent wreath or calendar to guide them through this period of preparation for the coming of Jesus. The Advent Calendar is a beautiful tradition that dates back to the 1850’s. The calendar provides a collection of daily activities families can share as they prepare for the birth of our Savior on December 25th. The Advent Wreath can be store-bought or homemade. Involve your children in making a wreath. Use a Styrofoam circle and add greenery. Place four candles, three purple and one pink. The candles on the Advent wreath symbolize, hope, love, joy and peace. Light a candle each night of the week and pray together as a family. Each week light an additional candle until all four candles are lit on the fourth week. May your participation in the activities help to enrich your family's spiritual life and faith development.

On cold days, students must wear regulation school sweatshirts, bottoms, sweaters, or jackets. Girls may wear solid navy blue, black or white leggings with their uniform skort/jumper. Boys and girls may wear a solid white "Under Armor" style long sleeve shirt under their uniform shirt. Boys and girls may wear solid navy blue sweatpants with their PE uniforms. Inappropriate items will be confiscated. On extreme cold days (below 60), students may wear non-school related heavy winter jackets (not sweaters), gloves, and winter caps when arriving at school and for outdoor activities; such items may not be worn in place of a school sweater but worn on top of an SRL sweater. Jackets and extra gear may not include large or inappropriate graphics and may only be worn outdoors. If a jacket is hooded, the hood must remain off at all times. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that their child is dressed appropriately for school, considering the weather conditions. Disciplinary action may be taken if uniform regulations are not followed. Students may also be prohibited from attending school or playing outside if not dressed properly.

Mark your calendars-Christmas is coming early to St. Rose!! Santa's Gift Shop is heading back to SRL December 4-8 and we don't want anyone to miss out! This event is for our students to purchase gifts for their friends and families during the school day! It is a great way for them to express gratitude and learn about "shopping" in a safe, caring environment. Information on what is being sold as well as how to make purchases will be coming home soon-so be on the look-out! We will also be sharing a volunteer sign-up because Santa's elves cannot do it alone! We ho-ho-hope that everyone is ready for Santa-because we sure are!
