GREETINGS!
GREETINGS!
Dear St. Rita Families,
As we approach the end of this year, our hearts are heavy with the pain following the loss of our beloved 4th grade student, Ebele. This has been an incredibly challenging time for Ebele’s family, as well as our students, families, and staff. We continue to support our community with extra counseling sessions, visits from Father Thomas, and extra TLC from our dedicated staff and parents. Please continue to lift up Ebele's family in your prayers during this difficult time.
In the spirit of togetherness and hope, we have several important events planned for the last week before Christmas break:
Wednesday: We will hold a prayer service to come together in faith to celebrate the third week of Advent.
Thursday Afternoon: Our students will participate in the reenactment of Las Posadas, a beautiful tradition that brings the story of Mary and Joseph's journey to life.
Friday Afternoon: Class parties will be held from 1:30-2:30 p.m. to celebrate the season and enjoy some festive fun.
Additionally, we have a special dress-down schedule for the week, which is attached to this newsletter.
As we prepare for the Christmas break, I wish all our families a wonderful time together. May you find joy in the hopeful anticipation of the coming of Christmas and the blessings it brings.
With warm regards,
Beth Woodward
Principal, St. Rita Catholic School

Tablesetters - Community Service Group
Children in kindergarten through 8th grade are welcome to participate in the community service group at St. Rita called Tablesetters. We meet once a month to learn about Catholic social teaching and participate in service opportunities which reflect those teachings. Some examples of projects from the past are: making dog toys for the Humane Society, collecting winter clothes for a local school, making "blessing bags" for the patrons of the St. Patrick's meal program, planting bulbs on the St. Rita grounds, making scarves and hats for the Hospitality Center, and making cards for our homebound parishioners. Participation in Tablesetters gives students the opportunity to play a real part in the local and global work of serving our community. It's fun to work together in helping others! Please fill out the form that was sent home with your child and return it to school before our first meeting.
