8th Graders: Wow - it's the 2nd week of Advent already - how are we doing on those positive things we wanted to do during this season? If you've forgotten it's OK, He hasn't forgotten you - so get started now and try to refocus and renew yourself as you prepare for Jesus. Let your LIGHT, God's love within you, shine for others today! Talk with our Lord, read about Him, reflect and grow close to Him.

REMINDERS
PHOTOS FOR GRADUATION NEEDED TO BE SENT TO MRS BELTZ!!!! She wants to let you know,"the bigger the pixel file, the better" and "you can email each picture seperately with a description of who is in the picture and what they are doing because she DOES NOT know who most of you are." She needs at least 4 pictures from each of you: 1 kinder, 1 8th grade and then at least 2 more with friends at OLM. She suggests you ask Mr. Somers to help you scan if you can't at home. They need to be sent directly to Kathryn Maffei kim2848@aol.com. If you have questions you can contact Mrs. Beltz at a.beltz@sbcglobal.net or 209-756-0345. She will let me know who has turned them in.
