Reminder: School starts at 8:10am.

 

Note from Erin Mitchell regarding pictures from the Spring Program:

Hi Everyone,

 

I have added a link to my web page so that you may view and/or order any prints from the Spring Program.  It’s a little tricky to see the link, so call me if you have any questions.  First, go to my webpage:  www.erinmitchellphotography.com.  Once you’re there, enter the site.  At the very top of the page, you’ll see a menu of items.  Unfortunately, the link is on the far right side of the page UNDER my logo.  Basically, if you just click on my logo “Erin Mitchell Photography” you’ll be directed to the page with the images on it.   Once you are at the picasa page, you can order prints from shutterfly, snapfish or photoworks.  Feel free to call  715-425-8777.

 

Thanks,

 

Erin Mitchell

Grades 1-2

“He has showed you, O man, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

                                                                   Micah 6:8

 

Grades 3-5                                         

“Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.”

                                                Matthew 28:18-20

 

Grades 6-8                                                          

“You, however, did not come to know Christ that way.  Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.  You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds;”

 

                                                 Ephesians 4:20-23
