K-4 Christmas Concert
On December 7, all students in Kindergarten
through 4th grade, along with the St. Xavier
Stringers, performed their annual Christmas
concert. All the students dressed up as pilgrim
children or elves. Held in the church , the concert
included songs such as “O Come, O Come
Emmanuel”, “Here We Come A-Caroling”, and
“Silent Night”, where the audience was invited to
sing along. Mrs. Corlett accompanied with the violin
on “O Christmas, Christmas”. The first year students
in Stringers performed traditional Christmas songs
such as “Jingle Bells”, “Jolly Old St. Nicholas”, and
“Dreidle”. Second year Stringers performed “We
Three Kings”, “Up on the Housetop”, “Angels We
Have Heard on High”, and “Hark the Herald Angels
Sing”. Together they played “We Wish You A Merry
Christmas”. All the students seemed to enjoy the
feedback from the audience to all their hard work.
In my opinion, the students did a fantastic job and
should keep up the good work and dedication!

Boy’s Head Coach – Kent Griffin
The boy’s first home game was on December 13, against Word of Life. The
boys lost the game with a score of 55-26. Coach G says ,”It’s a moral victory
and it gives us something to build on, the only way to get better is to play
better teams. They pointed out some weaknesses that we can work on in
practice. We expect teams to have a tougher time of playing us. We feel we
can win our next couple of games.” Good luck in the next game.
Girl’s Head Coach – Jamie Humlicek
The girl’s first home game was also on December 13, against Word of Life. They
fell to their opponent 58-16. Coach H says,” The team is working on the
