Virtue of the Month Winners
As you may recall, each month Saint James K – 8 students are studying a different virtue as part of their religion classes. Today during the Advent wreath lighting, Mrs. Zorger recognized two students from each homeroom (K-8) that were selected by their teachers for exhibiting the virtue of peace (peaceful demeanor or a peacemaker among their peers), our virtue for the past month.
Below is a picture of the students (who were present for our Advent wreath lighting this morning) who received the peace-maker award. Way to go SABERS! The next virtue is LOVE.
Due Tomorrow: 2018 Tree of Blessings Ornament Orders
Please see the attached information on the 2018 Saint James School Tree of Blessings. Tree of Blessings Order Form 2018

3rd & 4th Book/Art Club
For yesterday’s Book & Art Club, students listened to A Charlie Brown Christmas on a record player (so the kids can see how we listened to music in the “olden” days), then they made Christmas tree decorations. Special thanks to Mrs. Carpenter for sending along these cute pictures.
