Please take 30 seconds and fill out the form linked here:  https://goo.gl/forms/fs0Rt3nbVLJ5O30Y2

You will need to fill it out for each child who needs a shirt. Please, let  Jonathan know if you have any questions.

A Time for Everything
Submitted by Tim Visser, Administrator

I probably spend more of my time preparing for the 2017 - 18 school year these days than I do keeping this year on track. We are in the middle of re-enrollment for next year, we are looking at improvements we can make to our facilities over the summer, we are considering some program changes that would require curriculum adjustments, we are in the middle of determining staffing needs for next year, and sports schedules are being generated. With so many things in the works, I want to update you on a couple of the changes.
All School Talent Show
The SCS Talent Show is a K-12 event on Friday, March 10, 2017 at 7:00 pm in the Watson Groen Memorial Gymnasium. We encourage students of all ages to participate!

Host Families Needed

Interested in hosting an international student?  We have a number of international students interested in attending our school, however these students need host families to stay with while they are here.  We are looking for several host families to add to our availability list.  Host families do receive compensation.

If you are interested in being a host family, please contact the school office at  office@shorelinechristian.org or call 206-364-7777.
