Advent

Advent is a time of preparing and waiting for the coming of Jesus. The children of St. Aloysius campus of the Kaukauna Catholic School System are eagerly awaiting the coming of Jesus. During this Advent season they are preparing by performing their Christmas program, making Advent chains, opening doors on the Advent calendar, and lighting the Advent candles.

The students in fifth grade have been busy making a little Advent gift for the neighbors around the school. Now the fourth grade students will be taking the gift and going through the neighborhood leaving a little surprise on the doors of all the neighbors around the school. This is something that has become a very big part of the school life here at Holy Cross. The students come up with different gifts to give to the neighbors just to let them know they are appreciated and thought about by the students. Giving and do for others is something the students are learning here at school to do and do often.
