Nativity Scene Art Project - Due Dec 16

With Christmas quickly approaching, the 3rd and 4th graders will make a Nativity Scene. For the project, students will create a 3-dimensional model that we will put on display in the school lobby. The nativity scene should include Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, and the stable. Students could also include the shepherds, wisemen, the angel, and other animals if they wish.

The project is due December 16, 2015.

Must Include:

Baby Jesus
Mary
Joseph
Stable

You can also include (but don’t have to):

Angel
Shepard(s) and sheep
3 Wise Men

*Please do not use pre-made pieces - people, animals, the stable.

K-4th Grade Collecting Gifts for the Ronald McDonald House in Austin

At this time of the year, we focus on the gift that God gave us at Christmas …

Jesus, our Savior! What an amazing gift! We have been so blessed!

This year the students of St. Paul Lutheran School will be giving gifts as well. These gifts will go to help an organization and group of people that are not as fortunate as we are. This year our gifts will go to the Ronald McDonald House in Austin. Each child is asked to bring at least two items from the attached list. Bring the gifts to school unwrapped. The second, fifth and sixth graders will deliver them to the Ronald McDonald House on Friday, December 18. Our prayer is that the students will experience the joy of giving! Bring your items to school by Wednesday, December 16th.

These are the “top 10” items on the wish list.
