Reminder about Morning Drop Off Procedures
To keep traffic flowing smoothly and our children safe, please keep in mind our morning drop off procedures.
- Please pull ahead all the way to the fire hydrant or as far as possible along the fire lane before stopping to let your children out.
- Keep the space between you and the car ahead of you at a minimum.
- Do not get out of the vehicle to help your children. If you need to get out of the vehicle or your children happen to be moving at a snail's pace that day :-), please park in the parking lot.
- Be patient when the line gets backed up during busy times and avoid pulling around other cars or stopping by the dumpster to let your children out.
Thanks for helping to keep everyone safe and happy!

Prayer Requests:
- Pray for the church to be refined by rooting out syncretism, false teaching, and idolatry.
- Pray for indigenous mission agencies to establish bases which send workers to an increasingly Muslim population.
- Pray for an end to the evils of rampant child trafficking, prostitution, and exploitation of the poor.

It is that time of year... time to break out your life jackets…. I mean….winter coats and get ready for our winter sports season. The chill in the air means that basketball season is just around the corner.

and turn in all athletic forms and fees by Friday, November 2. Students can also sign up at the Athletic bulletin board next to the kitchen.
Volleyball Recap:
Both volleyball teams took on Trinity Lutheran Davenport. The 5
th
/6
th
team got down early in the first set; at one point they were down 10-21. But with strong serving and focus, they came back to within two, but fell 23-25. The girls continued working together the next two sets, winning both of them, 25-19 and 15-10 to win the match. The 7
th
/8
th
grade played in their last game of the season. They worked through injury and a changed line-up to continue to battle despite tough serves from the Tigers. The Eagles fell 15-25 and 22-25. The girls improved throughout the season, and we want to thank to Lydia Hunter, for her 8
th
grade leadership!
