Our bilingual program, offered in grades PK through 5th grade, immerses students in English and Spanish, setting the stage for lifelong bilingualism and biliteracy. From the beginning, our young learners engage with both languages daily, receiving core instruction in a carefully structured balance of Spanish and English. This approach helps develop cognitive flexibility, enhances problem-solving skills, and nurtures a deep appreciation for diverse cultures.

Being bilingual is an invaluable asset in today’s interconnected world. By nurturing proficiency in Spanish and English, we equip our students with the tools they need to succeed academically, socially, and professionally. Our Dual Language Program prepares them for future educational opportunities and opens doors to a world of possibilities in an increasingly global society.

St. Thomas More Catholic School is proud to offer a bilingual learning environment where every student can thrive. Through our commitment to dual language education, we empower children to become confident, capable, and compassionate individuals who embrace the beauty of language and culture.

Join us in celebrating the gift of bilingualism and discover how our Dual Language Program can benefit your child!

Celebrate the holy seasons of Advent with a beautiful Mexican tradition known as “Las Posadas” or “The Inns.” 

Part Christmas pageant and part Christmas novena, a posada is a faith-filled, entertaining way to gather with loved ones, recall the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, and prepare your heart for the birth of Our Savior.

At its heart, Las Posadas is a nine-day novena that starts on December 16 and runs through December 24. It typically involves family, friends, and communities coming together each evening to remember the Holy Family’s journey from Nazareth and their search to find a room in Bethlehem.

Participants begin with the prayer of the Rosary and re-enact the Holy Family’s journey, sometimes with children dressed as Joseph and Mary arriving at the door of the host’s home. Singing carols and sharing refreshments are important components of each evening’s gatherings.

St. Thomas More is thrilled to extend a warm invitation to our Posadas with the following schedule:

• December 16th (2-3 pm): PK-2 Grade
• December 17th (2-3 pm): 3-5th Grade
• December 18th (2-3 pm): 6-8th Grade

Advent is a beautiful season of anticipation and hope, during which we prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus. The word “Advent” comes from the Latin adventus, meaning “coming.” Over the four weeks leading to Christmas, we embrace traditions, prayer, and reflection to center ourselves on the true meaning of the season.

How to Celebrate Advent

One of the most cherished Advent traditions is the Advent wreath, which holds five candles: three purple, one pink, and one white in the center. These candles symbolize various aspects of the Advent journey:

• Purple candles: Represent preparation through prayer, fasting, and reflection.
• Pink candle: Symbolizes joy and rejoicing as Christmas approaches.
• White candle: This signifies Christ’s purity and light, and it is celebrated on Christmas Day.

This season is also an opportunity to spread God’s love through acts of kindness. Consider engaging in activities like:

• Volunteering at a homeless shelter.
• Organizing or contributing to a food drive.
• Donating supplies to a local animal shelter.

Teaching children about Advent is a beautiful way to show them how joy flows from the birth of Jesus. Shift the focus from the material aspects of Christmas and emphasize the importance of slowing down, reflecting, and spending intentional time together in prayer and preparation.

Advent at St. Thomas More

At St. Thomas More, we embrace the Advent season through community traditions:

• Lighting the Advent Wreath: Each week, we gather to light a candle, pray, and reflect as a community.
• Food Drive: Throughout December, we will collect items to support those in need. A list of suggested donations and pick-up dates will be shared soon.

This Advent season, let’s come together to prepare our hearts, share God’s love, and joyfully anticipate the celebration of Jesus’ birth.

St. Thomas More, pray for us 🙏
