The proceeds from this event will

donated to our school. Thank you

our Knights of Columbus for hosti

this event. We could still use a fe

more middle school volunteers to

help clear and set-up tables. Con

tact me if your student is able to

work a shift Sunday a.m.

Your children in grades 3-8 should

be coming home feeling great tod

after celebrating the Sacrament o

Reconciliation with Fr. Doug and s

visiting priests this afternoon. It w

a nice way for all of our older stu-

dents to do one more piece of Chr

mas preparation together as a fait

community. Please remember ou

2nd grade students in your prayers

they receive this Sacrament for th

very first time this Saturday morni

Many blessings to you and your fami

Mrs. Amy Gallus

Dear GA FamiliesHappy Advent! Our week began

with an extra special prayer op-

portunity on Monday with a

school-wide Advent Service led bythe GA Staff. We will continue

meeting with the first day of each

week between now and Christ-

mas. Since there is no school on

Monday, Tuesdays prayer service

will be led by the Middle School.

It is hard to believe that the first

trimester of school will end tomor-

row and report cards will be final-

ized and mailed out on Monday,

12/5. Grades K-3 will be using

the same report card format as

previous years but grades 4-8 will

be using our new template

through Cornerstone. Say anextra prayer this weekend that all

goes smoothly during the teach-

ers work time on Monday.

We have converted to our new GA

School Web-site this week. Take

a look and give us some feed-

back. If you have suggestions,

comments, or notice anything

missing, please let us know and

well see about getting it linked.

We are very excited to update and

move our web-site forward. As

with any change, we realize that

there may be some small

glitchesbut dont worrywell

address them quickly. A special

thanks to two of our School Com-

mission members who spear-

headed this projectGreg Os-

terdyk and Tom Tierney.

We are still taking reservations for

the double Christmas event com-

ing up on Saturday, December

10th. Take a look at the attach-

ment and send in your reserva-

tion. Thanks goes out to our PTO

members and Middle School Ser-

vice Club who are helping with the

planning of the Getting Ready for

Christmas Party, and Kris Janey

and Jen Dowling for the idea and

contact for the Floral Arranging

Session. It will definitely start to

feel like Christmas after Saturday

morning!

If you are able, there will be deli-

cious Belgian Waffles being

served in the GA School Gym this

Sunday morning from 8:00-12:00.

Also, we're excited to announce that Southwest Christian High

would really appreciate it! Just small items like pop, candy, chips

etc. Lastly, make sure to check the online sign up for volunteer

positions for our home games (should be available by the end of

the day tomorrow). All basketball families need to sign up for a

minimum of three home games, and one donation to the booster

consession stand. Thank you! Mr. Jones
