Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!

The last day to sign up for our 2012 Diocesan Ski Trip was yesterday (12/11)! If you are still interested in coming, contact me ASAP! The Ski Trip will be January 13th-16th at Winterplace Resort in West Virginia! We will be leaving the Friday morning of Martin Luther King Weekend, so you will have to miss school that Friday if you participate. The trip is $400 per skier, and you can sign up TODAY with a $100 deposit. The final balance of $300 will be due before Sunday, January 8th.

There will be no EYC during the Christmas holidays : December 18th (Happy Luminaria!), December 25th (Merry Christmas!), and January 1st (Happy New Year!).

St Mark's EYC Spring Kickoff will be at the Youth Center on Sunday, January 8th, with Juniors (7th-8th graders) from 5-7 p.m. and Seniors (9th-12th graders) from 6-8 p.m.!

We will have an EYC Parents' Meeting from 6:30-7 p.m. in Grace House (next to the Youth Center) to discuss our Spring events, and to pass out Spring calendars.

Our pictures this week are from Sunday's Tacky Christmas Party:
