Principal's Pen
A BIG thank you all for your generosity in bringing in the treats for our Operation Christmas Child project! We will be assembling these boxes this Wednesday at Grandparent's Day. Again, if your child needs a grandparent figure for the day, please let us know! We are looking forward to a great week as we prepare for Thanksgiving, family, food, and some time off before the crazy Christmas rush.
I will be sending out some information specifically to our Pre-K parents regarding Kindergarten Info Night, to be held on Thursday, January 12 at 11:00 am and 6:00 pm. Please mark this on your calendar as we present why we are different than public school and why we are highly accredited compared to other programs. Hope to see each of you there and thank you for your consideration.
Coffee Chat with Mrs. Jennings will be Tuesday, December 13 in the Great Hall.
A few procedural reminders
:
Please do not get out of your car in the pick-up lane after school. If you need or wish to get out of your car, you must park in a parking space. The pick-up lane is specifically for drive through pick-up only. It creates backed up traffic on University and creates a safety issue when we have parked cars or individuals out of their cars in the pick-up lane.
The office has noticed that tardies have been increasing recently. With the time change influence and with the holidays approaching, our lives can get hectic and affect our daily schedules. Please remember that interruptions to the classroom disrupt learning and may create unnecessary chaos. We realize that tardiness is unavoidable at times but please do your best to be in class on time. Thank you for understanding!

What Child Is This?
ELC-8th Grade Christmas Program
December 15, 2016
10:30 am and 6:30 pm

The weather is getting colder (finally!) and you are wishing you had bought your student a hoodie? Maybe you are thinking Christmas presents? Click HERE to go to My Locker to order your Shepherd gear. Also-Shepherd earns a small rebate on every order!

Here's how your past child care contributions (ELC) served the needs of the church this past fiscal year:
- $67,891 was applied to help offset the ELC's fixed overhead costs.
- The preschool remodeling loan was paid down $20,000.
That's $87,891 that went back to the general fund! What a blessing and a benefit! And the generous donors of those funds received a benefit, too. The Colorado Child Care Credit provides a 50% tax credit against your state income tax liability along with the existing tax benefits of a charitable deduction. Please be sure to pick up an informative flyer from the usher stands.

Jack's Corner
QUESTION:
My ten-year-old son has been asking a lot of questions about ISIS and war. He has seen the some video clips on the news. I don't want him to be scared, and I don't want him to be exposed to those and other horrors on the news. His father has a much more cavalier attitude about the whole topic. Can you give us some guidance?
ANSWER:
As Christian parents, we will always agonize over how much and when to expose our children to the realities of life...
