Happy St. Nicholas Day! As we have entered the Advent season, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude for the support given to our school by our staff, families, and community. On Giving Tuesday, we reached an ambitious goal of $75,000 raised that will contribute to bridging our operating gaps and initiating projects that will improve our learning environment. Also, yesterday we once again took over a local restaurant at our Portillo's night! It was incredible to see everyone there having a great time and enjoying some great food for our school. I don't feel like I can say it enough: THANK YOU!

In case you missed it, we had a wonderful Parent Night on Monday with Officer Alisson Ramirez from the Glen Ellyn PD who talked to us about Internet and Social Media Safety. If you couldn't make it and are interested in the talk, please check out the video linked to the button below.

Next week, the fun continues with our annual Christmas Concert for grades K-3 in the Church starting at 6:00 PM. It will be a great time, so please bring the grandparents along as well!

Please reach out if you have any questions or if there is any way I can better support your family. I hope to see you at the St. Nicholas Festival tonight and the Knights of Columbus Donut Sunday!

God bless,

Eric Schmidt

Principal
