2nd Sunday of Advent
The Second Sunday of Advent is the Peace Candle also known as the Bethlehem candle
The second Sunday of Advent gives us the opportunity to reflect on Psalm 46:10-11 which says:...Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”
This week, we pause to remember who God is and what He has done for us.

There will be food items for students, every morning in the boot rooms on a cart. If students are hungry, they are very welcome to help themselves to 2 items.
The items will be easy to eat and nutritious. Yogurt Tubes, Cheese Strings, granola bars, small oranges or bananas.
All children can have up to 2 items.
