It is the first season in the Church year, which is why it is time for Happy New Year greetings. Advent is a period of expectant waiting and preparation, and is a season that last four weeks, leading up to Christmas. For many, the weeks leading up to Christmas include a great deal of preparation: shopping, cooking, wrapping, and often, more shopping. It is easy to get caught up in the commercialized “get-get-get” mentality. For children, it is easy to focus on simply what they want to “get.” During this hustle and bustle, Advent has great purpose in giving us time to pause and reflect on the what should be a paramount focus, the joyful expectation of Christ’s coming!

At All Saints, we strive to focus at this time of year on the opportunities to share and to give of oneself to others. The prayers our students share in chapel are rarely about themselves. Their sense of compassion and concern for the community is immense. As we wrap up the U-Can-Share Food Drive next week, our students have heard much about the gift of giving. We move into Advent ready and excited to share through our grade-level service projects.

There are many ways to celebrate the Advent season at home. Consider incorporating an Advent wreath of candles at your dinner table. A new candle is lit each Sunday during the four weeks, and then the same candles are lit each meal during the week. An Advent calendar is a great way to track the days of the season. A unique and specialized Advent calendar that can be used in the home is a Jesse Tree, which begins with the prophecy from the book of Isaiah that “a shoot will spring forth from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots.”

This year at school we have a “traveling” nativity set. The nativity figures are separated, and they “journey” to Bethlehem during the season. For example, Mary and Joseph start at one end of the school and make their way a little closer each day to the stables (Jones Gym). The shepherd, his flock, as well as the wise men, “journey” at their own speeds at the appropriate times.

If you have any questions or would like more information on Advent traditions and bringing them into your home, please just ask. And you are invited to share in the Advent season with us during chapel at All Saints. There is always room for parents and friends!

Peace - Chaplain Paige +

DID YOU KNOW? All Saints utilizes SMART Board technology in all four divisions in the school daily? 4 THEATER NEWS The All Saints High School One Act Play defeated seven schools to win the 1A-2A TAPPS State Championship. Four cast members earned All-Star honors.

Students earning All Star honors are: senior Keely Umstot, All Star Cast; senior Matt Harper, All Star Crew; freshman Susannah Bumstead, All Star Cast; and sophomore Raymond Rider, Honorable Mention All Star Cast.

Paula Chanda is the director. Other cast members are: freshmen Abi Jordan, Meghan Mitchell, Kenyan Mortensen, Bri Sanchez, and Brooke Stevenson; soph- omores Joshua Duemer, Zac Paston, Mallory Staggs, and John Gamble Streit; and senior Alyssa Smith.

The cast performed the 40-minute one-act play, The Cau- casian Chalk Circle, written by Bertikt Brecht. The play is a parable about a Russian peasant girl who rescues a baby and becomes a better mother than its wealthy natu- ral parents. It is loosely based on the Biblical story of the Judgment of Solomon.

The contest requires all plays be performed in one act lasting no more than 40 minutes. Sixty percent of the scoring is based upon acting while 40 percent is judged on other elements like sets, costumes, and lighting.

Congratulations to Mrs. Chanda and the entire cast and crew for a job well done!

The Girls and Boys Basketball Tournaments are a fantastic opportunity for All Saints to open its doors to the pub- lic as each weekend brings in several hundred athletes and more than a thousand spectators. It is a great time to raise funds for the athletic department as well as showcase All Saints to teams from Midland, Amarillo, Plainview and Lubbock. Please make plans to cheer your Patriot teams to victory!

It is a long-standing tradition at All Saints Episcopal School to ask students and their families to give of themselves so that others might catch a glimpse of the true gift of the Advent Season. We will continue this tradition with grade-level service projects.

PRESCHOOL, PRE-KINDERGARTEN and KINDERGARTEN are gathering items to be given to the children at Buckner Children’s Home at its annual Christmas party. A list of suggested items has been sent home. Items will be collected through December 15.

PRE-FIRST is collecting art supplies for High Point Village. The last day to contribute is December 18.

FIRST GRADE is collecting items for children visiting the Covenant Outpatient Cancer Center. A complete list of suggested items has been set home. Collection deadline is December 16.

SECOND GRADE will collect various items for Ronald McDonald House. Donations will be col- lected through December 16.

THIRD GRADE has ‘adopted’ a family in need. They are collecting gift cards for clothing and other items. Information has been sent home with students with suggestions.

FOURTH GRADE is remembering the patrons of the South Plains Food Bank during the Advent Sea- son. Students are bringing a variety of items, and a list was sent home with suggestions. Items are due on December 16.

FIFTH GRADE - has adopted two families from My Father’s House Lubbock. More information is being provided to the fifth grade families.

SIXTH GRADE - Sixth grade will remember the Salvation Army during Advent. They will stuff stockings for younger recipients.

SEVENTH GRADE completed a coat drive last month for Women’s Protective Services and Faith Promise. 91 coats were donated!

EIGHTH GRADE is assisting The Haven Animal Shelter. The Haven is in great need for pet supplies, and a list was sent home. All donations need to be at school by December 14.

HIGH SCHOOL - On December 9, the entire high school will help sort toys and fill orders for the annual Toys for Tots campaign. In ad- dition, the students are filling bags of personal care items for Lubbock Impact. Parents received an email about this today.

STAFF and FACULTY - This year, the school’s staff and faculty participated in a group Advent Offering as well. Participants donated money to provide small gifts to the staff/faculty of Bowie Elementary. Bowie school has a great group of employees who work hard to sup- port and provide necessities to students in need all year. The ASES staff wanted to help provide a small gift to their Bowie peers. 12
