“The name of the Lord is a strong tower”

Reminder: School starts at 8:10am.

 

Ebenezer is planning a garage sale on May 16, in Woodville, at the home of Jeanne Curtis.  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 Dana Swanson.  Items can also be brought to the Curtis home the night before the sale.  Your support is greatly appreciated.

 

The Bike Hike has been rescheduled for the last day of school, May 23, beginning at 12:30pm.  There will be no Potluck afterwards.  Ebenezer will be serving lunch that day and students will not need a lunch.  Try to have pledge money in by the 9th or as soon as possible.  The students will need to remember to bring their softball gloves, bike helmets, water bottles, and possibly sunscreen.

 

The lost & found is full.  Please check the green bin by the upper grade room for any of your student’s missing items.  At the end of the year, unclaimed items will be discarded.

 

Aluminum can update: Last week a load of cans, weighing 380 lbs, was redeemed for $342 for BCS.  So far this school year, there have been 7 loads, 2,000 lbs, and $1,509 for BCS.  Thank you very much for everyone’s contribution of cans.

 

The Upper Grade class will take a trip to the Wisconsin state capitol and Taliesin on May 19th. They will need a sack a lunch and money for supper on the road. Send $40 per child for entrance fees and gas. Have your child at school by 7:15am to depart and they will need to be picked up at 9 pm.

 

The Syttende Mai Parade in Woodville is on May 17.  The school will have a float in the parade.  If you are able to walk or roller-blade on the parade route, please contact Dana Swanson.  It is an opportunity to advertise our Christian school.

 

The next Parent Teacher Fellowship(PTF) was scheduled for Saturday, May 10, has not been confirmed, due to the lack of interested people.  Contact Dana Swanson if you are interested in roller-skating, ASAP, or it will be cancelled.

We will celebrate the letter P.  Preschool graduation will be on May 20 at the Christian Reformed Church beginning at 6:30pm.  All of the children will participate.  There will be a family picnic on the last day of preschool.  Have a great week!   Mrs. Buldra
