Reminder: School starts at 8:10am.

 

IMPORTANT: Please read the school news carefully, it gets updated with important information weekly.

 

There will be a Kindergarten information meeting at the school, March 10, beginning at 7:00pm, for parents who are interested in sending their children in the 2008-2009 school year.

 

The Spring Auction will be on March 7.  It will be held at the Christian Reformed Church and begin at 7:00pm.  Ebenezer sponsors this auction and encourages all families, friends, extended families, and supporters of the school to be involved.  Area businesses have been very generous in the past when donating their services and merchandise, but donations from families are greatly needed.  Ideas for donations are limitless and include: catered meals, cleaning services, babysitting, quilts & blankets, needlepoint, embroidered items, toys, woodwork crafts & furniture, pictures, pies, canned goods, baked goods, tool sets, baskets of assorted items, trees, plants, and more.  Someone will be calling to see if you will be able to bring food, help with set up or cleanup, or help in some other way.  Please leave this night available in your schedule and plan on attending for an evening of fun, food, fellowship, and fundraising.

 

Ebenezer is planning a garage sale in the spring.  As you begin cleaning out closets, items that are still in good condition may become someone else’s treasure at the Ebenezer garage sale.  Items can be brought to the school or taken to the home of Erica Wahlquist.  Your support is greatly appreciated.

 

***Ebenezer is looking for someone to organize the Fall Craft Sale.  Karen Wevers has been organizing this event for many years.  If anyone is interested in this position, please contact Karen Wevers.  Karen will be available for consultation and help (attendance at the Ebenezer meetings is not mandatory).

 

The Campbell’s Labels for Education Program: The school recently received sentence strips, geared classroom clocks, a month-by-month treasure book, a holiday helper book, a visual encyclopedia of animals book, and a set of 6 Voit playground balls.  Please keep sending in the UPC codes with the picture of the little boy holding the pencil.  Thank you for saving these for the school.

 

Milk caps & Milk Moola: The milk caps from Land O Lakes, Kemps, and Moola labels from Kwik Trip should be turned into the school as soon as possible.  They are going to be sent in for redemption.  Thank you for collecting them for the school.

School News:

   *Parents please do not allow your children to play with anything other than the toys in the preschool room.  If you are here for a meeting and are allowing the children to stay in the preschool room, make sure they do not touch the craft supplies or the teacher’s desk.  The children can play with the toys if they are all put away before they leave.  This is a functioning classroom and needs to be respected and left neat & tidy for the teacher and her students.  Thank You

   *There will be an all school play on April 18 for the 1s –8th grade students.  The students received their parts on January 9.  Please help your child learn their lines.  All lines must be memorized by Wednesday, February 27.

   *The 3rd-5th grades classroom needs more Kleenex.  Please send in another box with the students.  These students also need pencils.  Parents your child is using 1 or 2 pencils per week.  Please refresh these supplies as soon as possible. Thank you

   *Preschool news: the preschool students will not be participating in the play on April 18, but we all hope you bring your families to the performance.
