THE WEATHER IS A CHANGIN’ With winter weather just around the corner, we wanted to remind you that we will s ll go outside everyday for morning recess (in grades K‐3) and for lunch recess (all grades). Your children will need to have their winter gear in order to be able to play. If they do not, they will s ll go outside, but they will have to stand on the sidewalk. In grades K‐4, they must have snow pants, winter coat, gloves, hats and snow boots. In grades 5‐8, they must have their winter coats and minimally their snow boots. Again, if they do not have the appropriate gear, they will have to stand on the side walk for recess, so get your gear out and ready for when the snow flies.
El Clima Empieza a Cambiar Con el invierno a la vuelta de la esquina, por favor de tener en mente que salemos a jugar todas las mañanas y durante el recreo de la comi‐ da. Sus hijos necesitaran su ropa para el invierno para poder jugar. Si no traen su ropa para la nieve, de cualquier forma saldrán afuera, pe‐ ro tendrán que mantenerse parado en la banqueta. En los grados Kín‐ der a cuarto, se les pide traer pantalones para la nieve, chamarra apropiada para el frio, guantes, gorra, y botas para la nieve. En los gra‐ dos quinto a octavo, los muchachos necesitaran sus chamarras apro‐ piadas para la nieve y por lo menos sus botas de nieve. Por favor ayu‐ de que su hijo(a) conviva son sus compañeros en la hora de recreo. Si no ene sus cosas tendrá que mantenerse parado mientras los demás juegan.

THE GOOD NEWS…..in Middle School!! Middle school students enjoyed two days of culture and science on their recent Denver field trip. First stop was the Art Museum where they experienced the extraordinary creativity of the Glory of Venice exhibit of Renaissance style art. Next, students learned about entrepreneurs and enterprise at Hammond’s candy factory. It was a sweet stop! The night was filled with song at the Ellie Caulkins Opera house where they attended Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West (Girl of the Golden West) opera which is based on Colorado history. The next day was off to a holy start as students attended mass at St. Louis Church with Father Reycraft who was generous enough to allow students and chaperones to spend the night in his school gym. The rest of the day was spent at iFly where students actively participated in physics experiments and then put on their jumpsuits and goggles before entering the wind tunnel where they experienced the exhilaration of indoor sky diving. It was a trip filled with gaining knowledge of art, music, business and science. A good time was had by all!!

1st Communion and Confirmation Parents and Godparents Just a SAVE THE DATE reminder for the upcoming required classes, as this is an opportunity for you to grow in your faith, and to walk with your children and Godchildren in this sacramental journey. These classes are required, but more importantly they are a time to learn and share about how these sacraments and the Mass are an integral part of our lives. So often we send our children to receive religious formation in Catholic School or Religious Education classes, but aren’t offered a forum to study and grow in our faith as adults. Hopefully these classes will do just that, and also bring us together in community. We invite those Confirmation Sponsors who can, to come as well. Parents please share the handouts you will receive with the Godparents, and talk about the lessons together and with your children and Godchildren. The upcoming class session’s that you can choose to attend either the Sunday or Wednesday meeting time will be: Session 2: Sunday, December 4th at 9:00am OR Wednesday, December 7th at 4:45pm Session 3: Sunday, January 22, 2017 at 9:00am OR Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 4:45pm Session 4: Sunday, April 2, 2017 at 9:00am OR Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at 4:45pm Thanks again for participating in this special moment of grace and blessing for us all. Prayers and sincerely in Christ, Fr Bert Primera Comunión y Confirmación Atención: Padres de Familia y Padrinos Solo un recordatorio - Aparte La Fecha: para las próximas clases para los padres de familia y padrinos. Esta es una oportunidad para que usted pueda crecer en su fe y caminar con sus hijos o ahijados en este viaje sacramental. Se requieren estas clases pero lo mas importante es el tiempo para aprender y compartir acerca de estos sacramentos los cuales forman una parte esencial de nuestras vidas. Muy a menudo enviamos a nuestros hijos para recibir formación religiosa en la escuela pero no todo el tiempo se les ofrece un foro para estudiar y crecer en la fe a los adultos. Esperemos que estas clases hagan precisamente esto y a la vez nos unan como comunidad. Invitamos a los padrinos de Confirmación que asistan, si pueden. Padres de familia, por favor compartan esta información y la que recibirán en las clases con los padrinos. Y hablen con sus hijos! Las próximas sesiones disponibles son las siguientes: Sesión 2 : Domingo, 4 de diciembre a las 9am o miércoles, 7 de diciembre a las 4:45pm. Sesión 3: Domingo, 22 de enero del 2017 a las 9am o miércoles, 25 de enero del 2017 a las 4:45pm. Sesión 4: Domingo 2 de abril del 2017 a las 9am o miércoles, 5 de abril del 2017 a las 4:45pm. Bendiciones y sinceramente en Cristo, Padre Bert
