Dear Parents,
In just a few short weeks spring will officially
arrive, and with it, the glory of God’s creation as it begins to blossom.
If you’ve never taken the time to fully appreciate the signs of spring, I
hope you do this year. Each new leaf,
robin, and bud is a gift that God has sent for us to enjoy, and to remind us
that He makes all things new.
I received so many lovely Valentines, and would
like to thank each and every child for being an important part of our class.
You are loved and appreciated so much more than you know!
Our Bible memory verse is Psalm 24:1-2.
"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness
thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the
seas and established it upon the rivers."
This is due on Friday, March 20.
Please remember to send in your child's Bible
memory verse on the due dates so that we can place the new verse into the book.
Box Top collection day is March 13. Send in
those Box Tops! A flier was sent home on Friday, February 28 about the new Box
Tops app and how to use it to collect Box Tops for our school.
Thursday, March 19 is our 8th Grade Spaghetti
Dinner. Please RSVP if you plan to attend. This event helps our 8th graders
raise money for their class trip in the spring.
Friday, March 20 is Rock Your Socks Day.
This is an all-school Spirit Day for World Down Syndrome Day, which is March
21. Students are invited to wear their crazy fun socks on this day.
Wednesday, March 25, preschool through second
grade will be presenting a special Easter chapel at 8:40 AM in the church. Please
plan to come and see our program - the students have been working hard and they
are excited to share the Easter story!
The third quarter will end on Friday, March 27.
Report cards will be available Friday, April 3.
Spring conferences will be held on Tuesday,
March 31. There will be no school on this day. Please be looking for an
email from Mrs. Hughes with a sign-up genius for conference times.
We will celebrate one birthday in March.
Fiona will turn 7 on March 13.
Happy birthday, Fiona!
As our year continues to progress, I must
emphasize the importance of working with your child at home to reinforce what
he or she is learning. Good study habits begin at an early age. Take some time each evening to practice
spelling words, math flashcards, and the Bible memory verse. Even just a few minutes for each area can
make a huge difference. Thank you for your continued faithfulness in
supporting your child’s education.
