Christmas Program and Band Concert – Everywhere, It’s Christmas
The annual St. Simon Christmas Program and Band Concert will be held Thursday, December 18. The 1:15 p.m. show is for friends, siblings, grandparents and other visitors. Because it is difficult for some people to climb the stairs, there will be some chairs available on the floor. The 7:00 p.m. show is for parents only. We hope that you will abide by this request so that all of our parents will have seats and will be able to see. The Parish Center doors will open at 6:15 p.m. Please do not save seats.
Come one, come all, to the St. Simon School Christmas Band Concert to hear them start off our Christmas Program. Holiday tunes will abound, toes will be tapping, and your spirits will be lifted as you listen to our band students perform. The concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Center. For more information, contact the band director, Mr. Craig Hirotsuka, at (650) 430-3800 or trmptplyr@aol.com.

All families interested in receiving Financial Aid next year, even if you already are receiving Financial Aid, must submit a new Financial Aid Application for the 2009-10 year.
St. Simon Logo Wear
Could you add something in the weekly about logo wear being available for pick-up Weds after school in Spooncer Hall? Additional sweatshirts, t-shirts, sweatpants, decals, and hats will be available in Mrs. Allen's office after the first of the year.
