Candy Cane Lane next Wednesday, December 1

You most certainly will not want to miss the First Annual Candy Cane Lane Children's Holiday Fashion Show and Luncheon benefiting the Children's Hospital at Scott & White on Wednesday, December 1.

The fashion show will feature some of our adorable students modeling holiday fashions from My Vintage Baby, Orient Expressed and original designs from Amanda Duggan, a mom of a CCS student!

The luncheon will begin at 11 a.m. and is catered by Megg's Cafe. Tickets are $20. Space is limited so we urge out parents and friends to reserve a chair as soon as possible. To make your reservation, please see Kathy Barnes in the office or call 774.8622.

Parents Plus is also hosting a Holiday Bazaar in conjunction. Talented parents and friends of the school will have lots of gifts on hand to purchase. It is really going to be a fabulous day. The Bazaar will run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission to the Bazaar is free.

Latin Homework for Thanksgiving Break!

I'm certain your family and friends would be thrilled and impressed to hear the Table Blessing in Latin this Thanksgiving. I've included it here just in case you might need a refresher! No one does though, right?

I'm thankful for the brightest students around. I wish you all a super Thanksgiving.

Benedic, Domine, nos
et haec Tua dona
quae de Tua largitate
sumus sumpturi)
Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
Amen.
