Dear AS²A Families,
The peace of the Advent season was highlighted by the breathtaking Christmas nativity pageant on Tuesday night, directed by our divinely talented Miss Dawn. The church was filled with family and friends who joined together to celebrate the love, peace, and hope that Christmas embodies. The joy on the children's faces was absolutely priceless as they embraced the true spirit of Christmas. Thank you to our amazing teachers for wrangling our littlest reindeer, guiding our young shepherds, supporting the multitudes of angels, donning headpieces for our stable animals, and providing encouragement for the kings and holy family. 100 students shared a special and memorable evening with family and friends. Thank you, Miss Dawn, for creating an inspiring pageant that truly was “the first gift of the season”.
A special thank you goes out to the Bowlin family (Henry, Kindergarten) who so generously allowed baby Harrison to be part of the Christmas pageant as Baby Jesus. Harrison’s presence brought a sense of warmth to our celebration and allowed our community to experience the true spirit of Christmas in a very special way.
We continued our celebration of music with our Experienced Band concert on Wednesday. Thank you to Mrs. Hawes, the Paul Effman instrumental music teachers, and our talented students for sharing the gift of music!
This week we celebrate the 3rd week of Advent…JOY! The children are so excited for class Christmas parties and reindeer games. The laughter and smiles are bringing the JOY of Christmas to life in our hallways and classrooms.
