St. Bridget School Craft Fair
On Saturday, December 2nd from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm, Saint Bridget School will host over 60 crafters selling handmade soaps and lotions, Christmas décor, wood carved items, jewelry, stocking stuffers, crocheted items, ornaments, the best kettle popcorn, and so much more. They will also be serving lunch items for purchase in the school cafeteria. Admission and parking are free.
Important Calendar Notes
**Please remember, dismissal next Wednesday (November 22nd) will be at 11:00am (instead of 12:05pm as listed on the original calendar). Aftercare will be in session on this day beginning at the 11:00am time. Students going to aftercare will need a lunch from home.
**The first Advent Wreath lightning was mistakenly listed on our school calendar as occurring on November 27th. Advent, however runs December 3rd through December 24th this year, so the first Advent wreath lighting will actually be held on Monday, December 4th. We apologize for the confusion.
**As a reminder, there is NO AFTERCARE available on December 15th which is a 12:05pm dismissal day (before care will still be available that day).
