Thank you to everyone who helped make the Advent Festival happen this year. What a wonderful way to start the Advent season!
A special thank you to the Mosca Family and Mosca Design for going above and beyond to loan us the famous St. Nick chair, and share their resources to provide and install the bows outside the school, the lighting, garland, and decorations inside and outside Raphael Hall, and to decorate and light the big tree outside Raphael Hall!
