Annunciation School Newsletter
December 14, 2016
Annunciationbvm.org The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one
and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
Dear Parents,
I look forward to seeing each of you at the Christmas programs next week. The program
is always such a festive event that will put a smile on your face and put you in the Christmas
spirit. The program on Tuesday will start at 10:15 a.m. featuring our primary students in
Preschool through 3rd
grade. On Wednesday, the program starts at 9:45 a.m. featuring
Kindergarten through 8th
grade. Today you will receive your tickets to the Wednesday show; no
tickets are needed for Tuesday’s performance. Thank you to our teachers who work very hard to
prepare their students for the performance. I would also like to thank Mrs. Patti Brouch, the true
producer of the show, for all her efforts arranging practice times, coordinating the musical
performers, and organizing tickets and seating.
Last week our junior high students had the privilege of providing service to our
community at our annual Advent service day. Below are some pictures of their day.
This is the last newsletter before Christmas break begins on Wednesday, December 21.
On behalf of the Annunciation faculty and staff, I would like to wish you and your family a
blessed Christmas season. May the birth of our Savior fill your home with peace and joy! Enjoy
the time off with your families and we look forward seeing all the children in 2017!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jennifer Wardynski

If you would like to record your child’s performance, please do so from the back of the
gym. Please do not raise Ipads, phones, or cameras from your seats as you will block the
view of the people behind you.

play in the snow, students must be wearing snow pants and snow boots. If the

Parish/School Cookie Drive
Our 2016 cookie outreach to fellow parishioners was very successful thanks to all
of you!! Bakers, we delivered your wonderful creations wrapped in a hug and a
prayer to members of all our community, including Fire Station #9, the Aurora
Police Department, our choir, rectory and school staff, Marmion Monks, Knights
of Columbus, and especially many individual parishioners who were reminded of our caring
Annunciation family and Christ’s love. And many thanks to our Bakers, our incredible
Christmas elves, who delivered over 100 boxes of cookies and our volunteers, who boxed and
bowed the bunch! Again, thanks for your outpouring of love to our own this year, and in the 22
years past. Merry Christmas, and God Bless You, The Bakers. Mary Moon, Kathy Tentinger
and Trish Theriault
