Prepare the Way

The 6th graders made ornaments for the Jesse Trees displayed in the hallway. The ornaments show the ancestors of Jesus. Many wonderful Advent and Christmas projects and decorations make our halls very festive.

The students of Ascension School thrilled the audience that packed the church for their annual Christmas concert on Thursday.  Children in grades one through three sang and orchestra students from all grades accompanied them and added pieces of their own to the program.  The concert is one of the most exciting events of the year for the primary grades – and their families!

The program is put together annually by Mrs. Creed, (center) Ascension’s music teacher and Mrs. Coffman, director of the strings program.  Mr. Anderson, director of music for Ascension Parish, helps complete the evening each year by accompanying.

And buddies walked their gifts to the gym.

Preschool Sings!

Advent / Christmas Prayer

Ascension’s fourth graders usually present the story of the lineage of Jesus for their classmates and parents before school dismissed for Christmas vacation. Using the gospel, the children portray the ancestors through whom God worked as He prepared the world for the birth of his son. Mrs. Ondrla, Director of Religious Education, coordinates the presentation with the 4th grade teachers, Ms. Rafa and Mr. Gartland

Many of the 4th graders spoke as the men and women in the lineage.

An angel assured Joseph that he should not fear to take Mary as his wife.
