In December , Holy Cross held its annual Jesus Jamboree for all students and siblings. There were 11 stations where students made nativity scene ornaments, dog treats for the animal shelter, biscochitos, played limbo to Christmas music, holy family door hangers, cards and wreath pins for those who are unable to attend mass, pipe cleaner advent wreath, cupcake walk, and a name for Jesus mobile.
This fun afternoon was to prepare students for Advent and Christmas by providing interactive and thought-provoking activities. Why are we making cards for the shut ins? Why are we making dog treats for dogs that aren’t ours? This was a nice family friendly time for families to share their active faith together.
