"And we know that God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
Working & Serving
This past week our 4th graders ran a "Post Office" in the elementary hallway. The 4th graders helped the younger students write letters and address envelopes to be delivered on Friday (Valentines Day) to other staff and students in the building. Students were able to "purchase" stamps for $.50 each with all the proceeds going to the Kids Food Basket. On Friday, the letters were distributed! What fun to get mail! A representative from the Kids Food Basket also came on Friday and the 4th graders helped to assemble trail mix bags that would be used to help fill lunches being made at the Kids Food Basket. What a great opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community!

Cold & Flu Season - We have experienced a definite increase in number of students who are out with various forms of the flu. Please be sure to keep your students home if they are experiencing flu symptoms and also, if they had a fever, please note that they need to be 24 hour fever free before returning to school. Also, encourage your child to follow basic guidelines such as washing hands carefully, coughing into the elbow, etc. Thank you for your help in doing our best to keep all our staff and students as healthy as possible!
Drop Off Procedures - We have been having issues with drop off happening right at the cul-de-sac in the church parking lot as well as by the school office. DO NOT DROP OFF STUDENTS IN THESE AREAS! It is unsafe to have children running through these areas due to vehicles and buses moving through. Please follow the safety procedures as outlined here.
