It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

I cannot believe it is December 1st already!!! I have been listening to Christmas music since the day after Halloween, and now it's finally time to start playing it in music class! YAY!!! Today Mrs. Lawson's first graders loved singing, The Elves Counting Song, S-A-N-T-A (to the bingo tune) and playing Jingle Bells with their very own hand held bells. Christmastime is here, and we are loving every minute!

Thanksgiving and Police Appreciation Mass

Our Thanksgiving Mass last week was SO special! Thank you to all that came and celebrated with us! The choir and whole school did such a wonderful job singing the law enforcement dedication song, "One Call Away" for all of the men and women in blue that came to the Mass.

Throughout the month of November our students at DeSales have been celebrating our local law enforcement officers by taking part in various activities held at school. Some of these activities were: officers reading books to students, a drive through coffee service for police (where students made them their own coffee sleeves), and a private pizza party with officers for one lucky class! We are so grateful to the New York State Police, Niagara County Sheriffs, and Lockport City Police for participating in these events! Our last special way we would like to honor our men and women in blue will be at our Thanksgiving Mass on Wednesday, November 22nd in the Gym from 9:40am-10:40am. At this Mass, there will be a special prayer for police, a poem recited by students, and song that the whole school has been working on in music class entitled, "One Call Away." All are welcome to attend this Mass.


Here is a preview of Mrs. Shipley's third grade music class practicing our special Mass song...
