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.
In the past current kindergarten students have put on a short
performance. This year, because there
are no current kindergartners, we are asking the 1st grade students
to perform. They have already started
practicing and the 2nd grade students are welcome to join them but
it is not mandatory. Please keep Monday evening, March 10, open
on your calendar so you can attend this event.
Thank you
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.
Auction Luncheon Items:
Items for the luncheon may be brought to the Ebenezer meeting on Friday, March
7 at 8:15am. Nonperishable items may be
left in the preschool room earlier in the week.
Otherwise, bring items to the Christian Reformed Church kitchen by

free-will donation for the luncheon, which benefits various BCS projects. Thank you

*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
