WEDNESDAY EXCHANGE
11-30-11 Thanks to the money we raised on casual days in November and to everyone who brought canned good and items for the Thanksgiving baskets, we were able to give away 12 baskets for the Thanksgiving holiday. In particular, three boxes went to some kindergarten children in a public school class taught by one of our former teachers. She was so excited to be able to help out by giving away these baskets. Thank you for your generosity! Looking ahead:

9-28-11 Chapel was exciting today! Mrs. Liggins and her second grade class shared the memory verses they have learned this year while Jade Reed participated by sharing an interpretive dance. "Soul-ed Out" was the topic Mrs. Liggins chose to remind the students that they are to belong completely to Jesus...body, spirit, and 'soul' (mind, will, emotions). She gave away music CDs to a few winners whose tickets were drawn at the end of chapel. Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Mac, and their Alphabet Kids acted out and told the story of David and Goliath! There's nothing like seeing 3-year-olds learn Bible truths and share it with their friends!! Keep in mind---Just a few more weeks until Fall Break (Oct. 7, 10, and 11)...then it will be report card time.
9-21-11 Circus Day - If you are a parent of a student in K3, K4, or K5, you are invited to our annual Circus Day being held this Friday, September 23, from 9:00-10:00 a.m. in the gym. You are in for a 'roaring' good time as you see our students perform in our three-ring circus and dress up like circus characters and animals. Medicine Policy - Please do not send medicine to school in your child's backpack. It must be kept in the school office, and you must fill out a permission form for giving medicine. Thank you for your cooperation.
9-7-11 Looking ahead:
8-31-11 Our Back-to-School Blast last Friday was so much fun! Early in the morning we had our Accelerated Reader (AR) kickoff. We encouraged the students to start reading and taking the quizzes to earn AR points. Our school goal for this school year is 3,500 points. Last year our goal was 2,500 and we exceeded that. After the kickoff assembly, our kiddos got to play on the water slides and I know they had 'blast'!! Thank you to the parents who came to help. Last night was our PTF (Parent-Teacher Fellowship) meeting. Mrs. Powell and Mrs. Bond are our co-leaders this year. Parents, if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns, they will be glad to talk with you. We need as many parents as possible to be involved with PTF. We'll need your help with our fundraisers, honor roll parties, field trips, and numerous other events. Reminder - We are a uniform school. Your children should be wearing their uniforms every day--except on scheduled casual days which we will keep you informed about. If your child is not in uniform, you will receive a reminder note and be called to bring a uniform. This coming Monday, September 5, is Labor Day. We will be closed for the holiday.
