Attention Parents: A schedule for Parent Teacher Conferences was sent home with the students on Friday.  Choose the time(s) that will work best for your family & return by October 31, Wednesday.  Also, report cards will be sent home.  They will need to be signed & returned.  Thank you

 

Cure Tuberculosis is this year’s mission project.  TB attacks the lungs and is highly contagious.  Treatment takes about 6 months and the medicines cost as little as $15.  During the course of treatment, the ministry partners build relationships that enable them to share the gospel in hostile environments.  The school will start with this mission project on Wednesday, October 31, and go through Tuesday, November 20.  It will once again be a class project.  The class that raises the most funds will earn a special class pizza party.  There will be more details to come. 

 

 *** The Harvest Party will be November 2.  The children will be building scarecrows and taking a hayride.  There will be refreshments after the hayride.  Room Moms please contact the teachers for coordinating snacks & drinks.  Parents please make sure the children are dressed for the weather & the hayride that day.  If you are available to come to school and help with this activity, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

*FYI-Mrs.Wahlquist will be on medical leave for 4-6 weeks.  If you would like to help her in any way, such as meals, please contact her sister, Karrie at 684-4518.  Thank you & God bless.

Grades 3-5

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

                                                 Matthew 6:19-21
