CHRISTMAS WITH THE FIRST GRADERS
The youngest students at St. Maximilian Kolbe School were very busy during Christmas time living our school motto, “Serving God By Serving Others.” The Pre-K students made Christmas decorations of the baby Jesus. The Kindergarten children baked Christmas cookies and made candy cane ornaments. The First Grade class created wreath ornaments with
their photos in the center. The crafts and cookies were delivered to the residents of the Holy Family Home in Philadelphia. The Little Sisters of the Poor care for and serve the elderly poor at the Home. Everyone’s Christmas was made a little brighter as seen by all the beautiful smiles.
We welcome the newest We welcome the newest We welcome the newest We welcome the newest members of St. Maximilian members of St. Maximilian members of St. Maximilian members of St. Maximilian Kolbe who were recently Kolbe who were recently Kolbe who were recently Kolbe who were recently
