St. Philip's Episcopal School

January Newsletter

December was filled with many activities. Our students performed Christmas carols at Christmas at the college to a large crowd. They did an awesome job! St. Philip's joined in Christmas at the Crossroads and participated in the lighted Christmas parade. We sang Christmas carols at First State Bank to a standing-room-only crowd. Our Christmas Program was held at the Grand Opera House and enjoyed by everyone.

We hope everyone enjoyed the Holiday break. Students were eager to return to class and see their friends and teachers.

This is just a reminder that in cold weather, please send a coat or jacket with your child. We traverse across campus several times a day, and we want our students to stay warm.

As always, please contact our school office with any questions or concerns. 830-278-1350.
