This coming Friday, December 4th, St. Michael’s will be having a school spirit day. Each grade has chosen a color to dress up as. On December 4th, each grade will be voted on how well they show their school spirit, and there will be a treat for which ever grade wins!

We will have a mix it up lunch on Thursday, December 3rd. Each table will play a board game to communicate with people from all different grades.

The student council has come up with a Secret Santa. If you are intrested on having a Secret Santa then please let any student leadership members know. The whole point of having a Secret Santa will be to do an act of kindness towards a fellow classmate. If you would like to participate in a Secret Santa, then you would be doing somebody a favor by making them a card or making them a small special gift for the upcoming holiday!
