Message From the President -Jill Kissel

As we close out 2019, I would like to wish our families a very Merry Christmas and a blessed, happy, and healthy New Year. The Guild hopes that the children refresh over their break and come back bright and renewed! I would like to mention some well deserved thank you’s. Tracy Laffey chaired an amazing Halloween Party alongside AnnaLisa Ciccotto. The kids had a blast and this party never disappoints! Our annual Christmas Fair was held November 22-24 and was “Elf” themed. Again, the children had a wonderful time. It is always so amazing to watch their faces light up when they walk into the gym. Peter Vento chaired this event and his efforts and heart truly showed through the smiles of our children. Thank you to Tracy and Peter for taking on these big events for our school. We have so much more to look forward to in our 2020 school year. We will be holding a Penny Wars fundraiser with information to come home soon. Our annual One Event is being planned and the excitement for this event is palpable! Please reach out to the chairs if you are willing to donate an experience, memory, or learning opportunity. If you have any items to donate, our basket auction chairs work year round to collect and raise funds for this event. Your generosity is always appreciated. Again, the Guild Board members wish you all a blessed and holy advent season as well as a very Merry Christmas. We look forward to 2020 and hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year.
