For the next several weeks, Mountaineers will not only be beginning their second trimester, they will also be focusing on living Advent with intentionality. The Advent season, so often overlooked as we look towards Christmas, is an important time to prepare our hearts for the birth of Jesus Christ. There will be many activities for students to live this season as a time of preparation for Christmas. Prior to Thanksgiving break, Mountaineer families gathered together for the annual Advent wreath event to make traditional wreaths that serve to mark the weeks of Advent.
