This year’s CHRISTMAS MUSICAL evening proved to be “a night to remember.” Wow! Our students are so talented, and we are so fortunate to have the amazing fine arts teacher that we do in Mrs. Kama Belloni. We also thank Mrs. Ana Santos who worked with the primary and junior high students while Mrs. Belloni directed the actors and singers from the middle grades.  And, of course, we offer so may notes of gratitude to all of the parents who worked with Mrs. Belloni in ensuring that the quality of this performance was of the highest caliber.  I am so proud that we have expanded our fine arts program over the years while other schools have been cutting staff and curriculum.  Our students benefit so much.  And, I’m sure you felt as I did during the hour and a half we spent enjoying “A Christmas Carol”  – that amidst the hustle and bustle of our lives, this is exactly what our souls needed to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.

Thanks and congratulations to all of the students and families who participated in Our Feast Of Our Lady Of Guadalupe Celebration on Friday, December 11. The children did a fantastic job. The 8th graders were our actors, and they dramatized the story of Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe. Students from all other grades were procession participants or performed in one of the dance groups. Many thanks to the “Friends of Guadalupe,” led by Mrs. Mariqueta Churchill, for including us in this Mass each year.  We here at school also owe a huge debt of gratitude to our own Senora Gabriela Lopez for organizing our school’s participation each year.
