December 2024
Dear Crusader Families,
Today we celebrated St. Lucia. The 4th grade students did a special prayer service dedicated to St. Lucia and we had a visit from St. Lucia herself. St. Lucia shared special treats of hot chocolate and Danish cookies and visited with all of the students. To view the pictures from today, please visit www.facebook.com/sfdslebanon.
