Kindergarten Roundup - Feb. 11

St. Cecilia School’s Kindergarten Roundup will be on Saturday, February 11. Last names A-L come at 8:30 and M-Z come at 10:30.  We are counting on our school families to extend an invitation to friends, neighbors, relatives, and co-workers to join our St. Cecilia Family!  If prospective Kindergarten families are not available on February 11, they may contact the school office to make other arrangements.

St. Cecilia Student Art Exhibit - "Nebraska Through the Eyes of Children"

The art of St. Cecilia School students is currently featured in the "Nebraska Through the Eyes of Children" Art Show in the Sunderland Gallery in the Cathedral Cultural Center.  The show offers a unique student perspective on Nebraska landmarks, people and events and commemorates Nebraska's 150th birthday as a state.  St. Cecilia students in grades Kindergarten through eighth grade have work represented.  

Mercy and Kindness Tree

The Year of Mercy doesn’t end at St. Cecilia Cathedral School!  As a follow-up to the Year of Mercy, each St. Cecilia student has selected an act of mercy or kindness that they will try to perform throughout the Advent season.  For some it is…. “pray for others” or “help a stranger feel comfortable.”  For others it is “be nice to my siblings,” “share toys,” or “be a good person to others.”  Each student designed an ornament for our school “Mercy and Kindness Tree” that tells what they plan to do during Advent.

     Hopefully each student is also working on earning some money by helping out at home or performing acts of kindness for their own family in order to purchase an item for our all school Advent Service Project – helping the Burmese refugees who are parishioners of St. Cecilia School.  Please see the attached letter to our students explaining the project and listing what each grade level is asked to contribute.

ABC Club Wreath Sale Fundraiser

All students received an envelope and order form for the ABC Club Christmas Wreath Fundraiser.  The ABC (Activities Booster Club) does so much to help our school.  ABC supports a broad spectrum of activities ranging from field trips, after school academic programs and competitions, athletics, and high school scholarships.  The wreath sale replaces their annual Red Wheel frozen food sale.
