Queen of Martyrs School
Brings Good Tidings of Great Joy
Q of M students participated in many different celebrations of Christmas in order to make glad the heart of childhood!
Preschoolers visited our beautifully decorated Church to view the Christmas crèche. They discussed how when we see
the Baby Jesus at Christmas we feel an immense feeling of joy! They also viewed the Advent Wreath and experienced
the gifts of the Advent Season, Peace, Hope, and Joy!
The Preschool and Kindergarten students enjoyed getting their train tickets punched as they watched “The Polar
Express”! They loved the message of the movie to always “Believe’! Older grades savored tasty snacks and dressed
down in the Christmas colors of red and green!
The students were reminded before they set off on their Christmas Break that “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” and
that it is important to always be mindful of the opportunity to sew a few seeds of kindness! As Tiny Tim so eloquently
stated in the Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol”, “God Bless Us Every one”! May we all experience Peace
and Goodwill toward men as we move into “2021’!
