It’s that time of year.  The weather is turning colder, and it's time to bundle up outside.  We do go outside for recess even when the weather is cold so please send your child with a coat, hat, and gloves.  Students need to wear a Saint Gabriel sweatshirt with their uniform.  All non-uniform sweatshirts or jackets are removed when inside.  Be sure to LABEL these items so they can be returned if lost.

Here are some contest opportunities!  You could win cash prizes!  Our very own Haley Kiefer won the CEF poster contest last year.  This year it could be you!  Click the links below for more information.
