Gifts for Baby Jesus

This year during the Advent season, we are planning on placing the “manger” in the hall (near the office) of the school starting on Monday, November 28, 2016. It will remind the students as they enter the building each day that we are preparing for the “birth” of Jesus Christ our Savior.

If students would like to bring baby gifts to place around the manger, they could do so as their gift to Mary and baby Jesus. They could bring socks, rattles, diapers, blankets, onesies, make a card, etc as possible gift ideas. Prior to dismissing for Christmas break, we would ask a representative from the Midwest Pregnancy Center here in Coffeyville to come to the school to accept the gifts that the students brought. The students can feel the joy of “giving” to others.

Advent Prayer Service

Each Monday during the season of Advent the 6th grade students will lead an "Advent Prayer Service" at 8:30 AM in the gym.

National Young Readers Week

Since 1989, National Young Readers Week has been an annual event held during the second week of November to raise awareness around the importance of reading. The event was co-founded by Pizza Hut and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. 

During the week each class will have someone from our community or parish read a book to the students.

National Vocation Awareness Week

The Catholic Church in the United States will celebrate National Vocation Awareness Week, November 6-12, 2016. This observance, sponsored by the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations, is a special time for parishes in the U.S. to foster a culture of vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life.
