December 2009 Dear Parents / Guardians, The turkey is not even digested yet and we are looking at preparing for Christmas and all the events that lead up to it! To prepare for the coming of Jesus we celebrate the season of Advent. As a school family each Monday morning we light a candle on our Advent Wreath and pray that Jesus, the Light of the World, will bring peace and light to our troubled world. We include all our school families and your special intentions in our prayers. Thank you for your generosity during the month of November. The Penny Harvest collection was a success again this year as well as the Thanksgiving food drive. Thanks also to those who supported the Step Team raffle. Congratulations to our students who made the Honor Roll for this quarter! Their names are posted on the wall across from the main office. If you have not picked up your child’s report card please make an appointment with their teacher so you can work with your child to make improvements for the next quarter. For those who sent in the consent forms for the H1N1 vaccine our nurse will be giving the vaccine this week. It is impossible to inform you of the exact day since there are over 100 students to be vaccinated. Your child will bring home a form letting you know that they have received it. If your child has been vaccinated since you sent in the consent form please call the nurse to inform her. Please note the events on the December calendar. We will have school on Dec. 8th this year. Picture retakes will be done on Dec. 16th along with Graduation pictures. See the flyer for details on Santa’s Workshop and pictures with Santa for Gr. PreK-2. The children may dress up for their picture. Our yearly Christmas Raffle is underway with lots of great prizes. Tickets are $.50 each and a flier will be sent home with the listing of prizes soon! The drawing will take place on Mon., Dec.21st. Christmas at ICS will be celebrated on Thursday, December 17th with the following special events: Open House for Grades PreK and K in the classrooms 1:00-2:00 PM. ICS Christmas Spectacular --Band Concert and Pageant (Gr.1-3) in the Gym 6:30-8:00 PM WEATHER EVENT – In case of bad weather please review the radio stations that announce school closings: WOR – 710 AM, WCBS – 880 AM, WADO – 1280 AM as well as the TV stations: Channel 2, 4, and 12. Our school is not announced. We are closed when they announce: Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of New York or Bronx Catholic Schools. It will also be posted on the school website. www.ics151.org DO NOT CALL THE CHURCH OR CONVENT. We are collecting canned goods for the Yankee Food Drive if you would like to help local food banks. Send in any canned food or bags of rice by Thursday, December 10 to show ICS CARES! We also get vouchers for Yankee tickets in return for the donated items so we can take our students to some games next year! Our Book-of-the-Month is Night Tree by Eve Bunting, a warm story about how a family cares for God’s creatures during the holiday season. Wishing you all a blessed and happy holiday season. May the warmth and love that is all around us at Christmas time fill your hearts with peace and hope for the new year that lies ahead. The ICS staff wishes you a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! God bless us all!
Gratefully, Sister Patrice Owens Principal |
