The Mater Christi School community gathered on Friday, December 8 for our 10th annual tree lighting ceremony. This is a cherished tradition in which we recognize two former students who were taken from us too soon. During this season of light, it is also a fitting time to remember all who have been lost among our community. Jessica Le-Tien, a fifth grade student, read the poem “Winter’s Dawn“ by Emily Lyman, and then Mr. Jason Moore, Assistant Head of School, shared some thoughtful words of reflection and remembrance. The event concluded with the official lighting of the tree and a Christmas carol. The beautiful blue decorations continue to be a guiding light for our students and staff during the Advent season.
