Jesus, thank you for going to the Cross for me. 
Thank you for persevering through suffering, torment, and cruelty because You had me on Your mind. You defeated sin and death so I could live free and full of life! Help me not to squander such a beautiful gift. Help me to walk in faith, embrace my freedom, and reach out to those in need. I am Yours and You are mine. 
May I live in a manner worthy of Your name. 
Amen.

Uniform exchange tables open
Our students are growing! We have put out the uniform tables by the library. If you have uniform clothing to donate, please drop your donation in the barrel located next to the uniform tables. Please remember, only clean uniforms in good condition should be donated. If your student needs a few new uniform items, please come and take what you need. 
Thank you to Josefina Cardenas and Celia Sampedro for organizing our uniform exchange tables this year.

Ping Pong Tables Needed!
Mrs. Meyer would like to borrow 6 portable Ping Pong tables for a unit on the Summer Olympics this May. If you have one to lend, please email  Mrs. Meyer
