Specials Teachers News Art ~ What a beautiful mess! The art room has been bustling with activity as some classes use paint, markers, printing ink, paper mache – you name it! We are exploring all forms of art that go beyond just drawing with a pencil and crayons. You can imagine the beautiful mess of the tables at the end of each class, but I have been impressed with the students’ willingness to help clean. I am thankful for all of the students who take responsibility for cleaning up their table, and to those who stay behind to help their classmates. ‘Being Jesus for others’ can be found in action in the art room!

Christmas Cookies will be on December 15th! If you are new to SJS, Christmas Cookies for the Community is an annual tradition, going on for about 13 years. We bake, assemble, and deliver cookies to all of our neighbors surrounding SJS (this is fun to do with kids right after school). We also deliver cookies to businesses, including places like KVSS, the police station, and the fire station. We spread lots of Christmas joy all over Omaha! Will you please be a part of this tradition with us? You can bake 2 dozen treats. You can assemble treats (if you are a stay-at-home parent, you can do this with us…we accommodate for little ones). You can deliver treats to some of the SJS neighbors. You can drive to deliver treats as well to various businesses. (If you sign up to deliver, you will get a link to a sign-up genius and get to choose the places you deliver to). Please go to iVolunteer @ https://stjamesseton.ivolunteer.com/event_276 for more details and to sign up. Any questions, please email Katie Kaldenberg at katieschweer@hotmail.com.
