Be it known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but ever present teacher in its
classes. He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.
Dear Parents,
May you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Year!
Christmas Prayer
Lord, in this holy season of prayer and song and laughter, we praise you for the great wonders you have sent
us: for shining star and angel's song, for infant's cry in lowly manger. We praise you for the Word made
flesh in a little Child. We behold his glory, and are bathed in its radiance.
Be with us as we sing the ironies of Christmas, the incomprehensible comprehended, the poetry made hard
fact, the helpless Babe who cracks the world asunder. We kneel before you shepherds, innkeepers, wise men.
Help us to rise bigger than we are. Amen.
Peace and all good,
Thomas Devolve

Academically Excellent
5th graders were busy studying the make-up of color.
Mrs. Mascolino and Mrs. Voto combined art and science
and taught class together as students studied
chromatology and chromagraphy. Students took paper
towels and tested two brands of markers (Sharpies and
Crayola) using water and nail polish remover to test
solubility. As they tested different colors, they were able
to break them down to see what colors were combined to
create that particular color.
8th grade is reading A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles
Dickens and discussing its universal message. As a
culmination to reading the play in class, students will be
attending the performance of A Christmas Carol at
Playhouse in the Park.
Congratulations to our spelling bee finalists Gabe Ater,
Jamie Swanson, Valerie Phillips, Grady Huneck, Hannah
Becker, Dana Kern, Luke Westerkamp, Rose Early,
Samantha Mrusek, Noah Burkhardt, Nicholas McNeil,
Zach Watford, Clara Conover, Taylor Collett, Layne
Leggett, Erin Ashley and Vanessa Hickcox. A special
congratulation goes to our winner - 7th grader Clara
Conover!
Passionately Catholic
Our 8th grade students are shopping, wrapping and
delivering presents this week for families we are
sponsoring through our Adopt-a-Family program. This
year our students raised enough money to bring a warm
Christmas to 9 families in need, here in our own
community.
St. Andrew Campus will once again be assisting Mary
Schutte with her project of providing sleeping bags for
the homeless. All 6th, 7th and 8th graders will be part of
this service project which entails putting (sewing) the
bags together.
St. Andrew Campus student counsel sold candy canes to
students at lunch time and then delivered them to their
friends and teachers, either with a signed note or as a
secret Santa. They are raising money to buy new recess
equipment.
