PRAYER REQUESTS 
Please pray for the healing and recovery of the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Mogilka, who was in a serious car accident over Thanksgiving break. Continue to pray for the healing of Francisco Pena, brother of CSSE Pre K-4 teaching assistant Mrs. Imelda Aleman, who was diagnosed with Leukemia and is undergoing chemo therapy. We pray for the strength for his family during this difficult time.

Advent Prayer
All-powerful God, your eternal Word took flesh on our earth when the Virgin Mary placed her life at the service of your plan. Lift our minds in watchful hope to hear the voice which announces his glory and open our minds to receive the Spirit who prepares us for his coming. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

If you would like to include something in the Prayer Requests section, please contact Kristin Goodale at  [email protected].

SCHOOL NEWS 

Intent to Re-enroll Survey
It’s that time of year again! Enrollment for the 20-21 school year is just around the corner. Prospective families are touring our school and excited about the wonderful Catholic education we offer!

To assist us in planning for the upcoming year, we have a short survey asking your intent to re-enroll your child(ren) at CSSE. Please take 1-2 minutes to complete the survey (link below) between now and December 31st. Thank you!

From Mrs. Goldsworthy: Flu Has Hit CSSE Prayers and Keeping Aware
I have received several messages from CSSE parents informing me that their child has tested positive for the Flu. Our first case was reported Thursday after school and through this weekend, the number has risen to over ten students across several grades. Both Flu B and Flu A have been reported.
I wanted to communicate this to you so that if your child isn't feeling well, you know that it could be the flu - even if your child received the vaccine. This is hitting early this season. As we return to school, please be aware of symptoms and do not send your child to school with fever. They must be fever free for 24 hours (without medicine) before they return at school. We will also step up our cleaning protocols. Please make sure you inform your child’s teacher and the office if your child is out sick. It helps assist us in looking for symptoms in other students plus, we can keep your child in our prayers!
Keep all of our students, staff, and families in your prayers for good health and for those who are sick to heal quickly.
I wish you all a Merry Merry Christmas!
In Christ,
Mrs. Goldsworthy
