NEWS FOR PARENTS!

SEE YOU AT THE POLE will be this Wednesday, September 24th at 7:00 a.m. Come join us for a time of prayer for our school!

Students are bringing home one reading passage every Monday in the Apple Binder.  This passage will be practiced at home and signed (initials) at the bottom every night.  Set a timer for one minute, and let your child read to you.  Also let him/her read the entire passage for you during the week.  I will be checking every Friday! :)

Please send $25 and the completed field trip form for "A Christmas Carol" by 8:00 on Monday, October 13th.  The date has been extended, but this is the FINAL DAY and money will not be accepted after that date.  We already have three parents signed up as chaperones, so please keep this in mind.
