Dear Parents and Guardians,
Joy to the World! The third week of Advent is about joy. We get to take this week to remember joy as part of our Advent journey. This fits harmoniously with the SMSA concert week. All of the concerts bring their each special piece of joy at each particular grade level and program. The joy and humility of observing the concerts and programs express the meaning of Christmas through the lens of St. Mary’s Springs Academy.
Thank you for joining us at the concert events. May the joy given at the events be with you through the conclusion of the Advent Season and journey with you throughout the Christmas season. May your families experience a blessed Christmas complete with the gifts of joy, love and hope.
Thank you for sharing the gift of your child(ren) with St. Mary’s Springs Academy. The gift of a child or children is trying at times yes, but the joy overshadows any of the challenges. To get to see a first step, the first day of school, the first award, the first accomplishment, the first book read, are beautiful treasures given to us to cherish in the vocation of being parents. Take this Christmas and cherish it, as time passes, sometimes all too quickly. Share peace, love and hope with those around you. The best gifts are those unwrapped in the spirit of Christmas.
Thank you for your continued partnership with SMSA. Together we create a path for tomorrow’s children to achieve amazing dreams.
God Bless,
Steven Kelnhofer
