Parents and Guardians,
Our Easter program is this Thursday at 9:00 am in the gym. Please join us as we "Shout Hosanna" and sing about the King of Glory, His mercy and love washing over our sins. Please have your students wear jeans to school. They will receive a shirt for the program at school Thursday morning.
Thursday is a half day of school, so students may leave with their parents after the performance. Please notify the teacher before departing. Otherwise, school dismisses at 11:00 am. There will not be lunch or after school care on Thursday.
See you at our Easter program!
