Adoration at Notre Dame last Friday. It is a beautiful thing to see young people on their knees adoring the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Their exposure to Christ in this intimate way will be a blessing throughout their lives.

The sophomores created a countdown to Christmas using 25 names of Jesus... some examples. Dayspring, Alpha and Omega, Emmanuel, Amen, Wonderful Counselor, The Word, Light of the World. Each day a middle-schooler is chosen to reveal an ornament with a different Name and where it is found in Scripture!

In honor of Saint Nicholas' Feast Day please have your child bring a pair of new children's socks to school that will be shared with children in need! A drop box will be located at the elementary and the secondary side.
St Nicholas was a bishop who lived during the 3rd century. He suffered for the faith during harsh persecutions. It is interesting to note that at this time prisons were so full of bishops, priests and other Christians that there was no room for real criminals!
Tradition tells us that St. Nicholas helped three poor girls who needed a dowry in order to get married. He walked by the window of their home, threw gold coins through their open window and the gold landed in their socks drying on the hearth. St Nicholas, pray for us!
oth 4th grade religion classes had a Christmas card contest. We did this in conjunction with The Catholic Messengers contest. Each student used their artistic abilities to show the 'True Meaning of Christmas.' The winners were chosen from a panel of staff at BND. Leah Nickel was the winner for 4D and Annemarie Baxter was the winner for 4E. Both girls will receive 15 Christmas cards to send to their family and friends, as well as $10 in scrip to use as they please. All the 4th graders did a wonderful job portraying the 'True Meaning of Christmas'. The artwork can be viewed going down the hall to the elementary gym and into the link hallway.

Notre Dame students wrote their own Litany of Thanksgiving. The litanies were prayed by each class followed by a small "feast" of milk and cookies. In I Thessalonians 5:16-18 God asks us to rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks in all circumstances. This is His will for us! What a blessing to have a God who desires for us to have grateful hearts, full of joy, constantly connected to Him!
