A Note from Mr. Annis - 2018-19 1st Grade
Each year, we seek and eagerly anticipate who God will provide to fill vacancies in our faculty and staff. Most commonly, God introduces us to someone we’ve never met before we receive their resume and application. Every now and then, God brings us someone we already know! This happens to be the case for who I just hired to teach 1
st
grade next year. We are excited to have Sarah Greazel join the teaching faculty. Many of you know Sarah and Tony as the parents of four of our students. After some time away from the classroom, Sarah is excited for the return to the profession she loves and for the opportunity to partner with those of you who will have 1
st
grade students next year. We are excited for what the future holds and pray for the Greazel family as Sarah takes on this new role.

A Note from H.A.N.D.S. - Teacher Appreciation Week - May 7-11
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16
Did you know that Heritage staff take the time to write personal notes to each of our students throughout the year? Perhaps your child has brought one home to share with you. These letters are prayerful messages that speak to the hearts of our children. This staff knows our children, and they work every day to shine God's light upon them so that our children can go forth and be the light.
On Monday, May 7th, students have the opportunity to shine their light on the Heritage staff. Please have your child write a letter, note, poem, or draw a picture for each of their teachers and staff. We know this process can take a while, especially for the younger children, so we want to make sure you have plenty of time to work on them. These special messages make an impact to those who give so much of themselves to our children. Notes should be delivered
Monday, May 7th
. More information about Teacher Appreciation Week will be sent out in next week's Friday Folder. Be on the look out for a Signup Genius as well.
