Do you sometimes feel that you’re caught in a rut? Doing the same thing, day after day? Get up, get ready, go to school/work, come home, go to sleep, then get up and do it again the next day? It can be very easy to slip into “autopilot” and go through the motions without really thinking and making decisions. Advent is the season where we are called to WAKE UP! We need to PAY ATTENTION! The celebration of the birth of our Lord is coming and we must prepare our hearts and our homes to make room for Him in our lives! We ask that the Lord, our God, come into our lives and help us to understand what we must do to prepare.
Come, Lord Jesus, Come!

Parent-Teacher Interviews are going very well this year. Thank you to all the parents who are attending and to the students who are helping out with babysitting and with the Book Fair. Running the Book Fair during interviews is a new thing for us, here at St. Agnes, but it seems to be going very well! Parents and students are free to look through and purchase the books displayed in the library while waiting for their interview times. Additionally, “Stop Bullying Now!” wrist-bands, T-shirts, and hoodies are available for purchase. Thank You to Mrs. L’ Heureux and Mrs. Kapovic for organizing these events!

St. Agnes School has sponsored a child through Chalice, a Catholic organization aimed at alleviating poverty in developing nations of the world. As an additional initiative, we are raising money to buy items for the village our sponsored child lives in. The Cent-sational Advent Challenge has seen our students split into three teams vying to raise the highest number of points to win the challenge. Teams increase their own points by adding pennies to their own jars, but can take away from another teams points by adding other change or bills! The competition has gotten off to a great start and the jars are filling rapidly!
