Dear Parents,
So happy to have so much going on!!!
The Book Fair has taken over the auditorium for the past two days and all the students have had a chance to browse the selections and get some great books.
Thank you to Leah Cooney, Caitlin Behr, Adele McDonald and all of the other volunteers for making this happen.
God was gracious to us this week with the weather. While Thursday was pretty miserable, the two days for our planned trips were perfect.
Wednesday was a beautiful day for our Fourth Graders to take the SERC trip down by Edgewater, MD. Perfect for getting wet and dirty and learning about wetland ecosystems.
Friday was just as spectacular as our middle school had Outdoor Education. Everyone spent the day outside doing ropes courses and other team-building activities.
Next Tuesday is our Parenting Workshop for parents of 3rd-5th graders. Register (so we can get a head count) at this link.
The following Monday is the Smyth Fund Golf Tournament. There are a few spaces left and other opportunities to contribute to the event. See the Weekly for more information.
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly
