Dear Families of St. Michael School,

I hope you and your families enjoyed a peaceful and joy-filled Thanksgiving break. As we return to school we enter the first week of Advent, a sacred season in our Church marked by hope. This week we lit the first purple candle on the Advent wreath, symbolizing the hope we place in Christ’s promises and the anticipation of His coming. May this light remind us to slow down, reflect, and allow hope to guide our actions and interactions during this busy season.

Thank you to all who completed the parent surveys before the holiday. Your thoughtful feedback is truly appreciated and helps guide our mission to serve your children with excellence and faithfulness. As we journey through this beautiful but often busy season, I encourage all families to continue prioritizing daily attendance and punctuality. Even with the excitement and festivities surrounding us, being present and on time supports our students’ learning, growth, and sense of community.

May this Advent season fill your homes with hope and the light of Christ.

Very Respectfully,

Mrs. Conliffe
