Primary Christmas Concert
What a delight it was to watch our Kindergarten and Grades 1-3 students perform at this year’s Primary Christmas Concert! There was excitement and joy abounding as parents, guardians and family members watched in anticipation of each performance.
Thank you to our Kindergarten and Primary teachers, ECEs, EAs and EIs for all their hard work to prepare students for our Christmas concert. It was a spectacular event with student talent radiating throughout every performance! Congratulations Kindergarten and Primary North Stars!!

Scholastic Book Fair
St. Nicholas’ Book Fair was a great success this year! $5761 worth of books and gifts were sold and $600 worth of new books were purchased for the library. The school earned an amazing $1092 in cash rewards! This money will be used for technology, books and activities for our school library which means all students will have the opportunity to use them!
Thank you to Mrs. Totten for coordinating and facilitating the book fair. We also thank parents and guardians for supporting reading and our school library.

Christmas Message and Closing Prayer
It’s hard to believe that the Christmas break is here. We welcome this time of rest and rejuvenation, and the opportunity to spend time with our family and friends.
The true joy of Christmas is the love of Christ, shared with family and friends. May you find His peace, love and joy this Christmas and in the coming New Year.
Let us pray together,
Dear God,
Bless our family and friends.
Bind us together by your love.
Give us kindness and patience to support each other;
and wisdom in all we do.
Let the gift of your peace come into our hearts as we await the coming of your son, Jesus.
Amen.
St. Nicholas, pray for us.
Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas and joyous new year.
Sincerely,
C. Quadrini, Principal
