The Student Council is sponsoring a dress down day on Wednesday, November 30th. Students may dress down (according to handbook guidelines) for $1 or more donation per student.
$236 was collected for the Veteran’s Day Project. Donations have been made to the American Legion and the VFW of Collinsville. Thank you for your support!
The Christmas Star From A Far
Put Christ into the Advent and Christmas Season!! This is the Christian version of Elf on the Shelf. The Christmas Star from Afar encourages children to go on a hunt for their Star, similar to that of the Wise Men. If you would like to see a set, please stop by the parish or school office or after Mass where we will have an open sample. $35 each includes the activity book with a wooden Star, a full wooden nativity scene that matches the artwork of the book, and optional scripture to use throughout the month.
