Jog-a-thon T-shirt Fridays

This Friday is our first Jog-a-thon T-shirt Friday! We expect our shirts to arrive this week, so we plan to hand them out on Friday in classes as a kickoff for the fundraising portion of the Jog-a-thon (actually, we already have pledges coming in!). Then, starting next week, we encourage all students to wear their Jog-a-thon shirt on Fridays as we continue building support over the next six weeks. Students who wear their shirt on Fridays will get a special treat in class.

The School Play is this Week!

Tickets are still available!

The Box Car Children: Story by Gertrude Chandler Warner, Adaptation by Barbara Field, presented by Shoreline Christian School (Thursday, March 30, Friday, March 31, Saturday, April 1 at 7:30 pm). All performances will be at the Black Box Theatre at Edmonds Community College.

The classic children's tale of four orphan runaway siblings during the Great Depression era is brought to life by the Shoreline Christian Drama Department.

Dennis Roosendaal Scholarship

In 2004, the Shoreline Christian School Board established a scholarship fund to honor the years of service that Dennis Roosendaal offered to God through his work at Shoreline Christian School. In recognition of his servant’s heart and love of science and math, the School Board has directed that this scholarship be offered to one graduating senior who has demonstrated the importance of service to others and to God. The graduating senior must also demonstrate the intention to pursue a college major in math or science. This is a one-time scholarship of $500 to be paid to the college in which the graduate attends the following school year.

If you are interested in being considered for this scholarship, please complete the application (located in Mrs. Grafmiller's office) and return it to Mrs. Grafmiller by Friday, April 28, 2017. Mr. Visser and Mrs. Grafmiller will review the applications and they will be presented to the School Board during their May 8th Board meeting. The recipient of the Dennis Roosendaal Scholarship will be announced at Honors Night in June.

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
