Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3: 5-6
SCHOOL EXPANSION - Thanks to a lot of hard work and multiple conversations between two great groups of caring and dedicated individuals, we are going to have an exploratory meeting in April for anyone interested in hearing about what a middle school at JI might look like and what we need to do in order to implement a plan. The date and time will be shared soon. At this time, we do not have a timeline but we know what our reasons are for exploring this possibility, what we would like to see in a middle school program, what resources are available to us, and what work still needs to be done. We would love to share this information with you as well as get your input. Thank you for your patience as we work together to create the best plan for our school and church community which is faith-filled, enriching, feasible, and sustainable. We continue to strive to be disciples guiding disciples with the Holy Spirit guiding and inspiring us!
UPDATES TO SCHOOL CALENDAR
- We will have a spring program. We will share details and times in the near future. But mark your calendars for May 13th and 14th.
- Early Dismissal Days - We have added two early dismissal days to our calendar for teacher planning, prep, and professional development. These days are Friday, April 16th and Friday, May 7th. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 PM on these two Fridays. SAC will be open from 12:15-5:45 PM on these two Fridays. Thank you for your cooperation!
STAR QUALITITES - 4th QUARTER CHALLENGE - Students has been working on making good choices and showing star qualities all school year, but we decided to add a special challenge for the 4th quarter! All school staff members have tickets and when they see students showing good star qualities and making good choices they give the students tickets. The students write their names on the tickets, and all the tickets get put in the big fish bowl in the office. Each week three names are drawn and those three students get to pick prizes. There is a line on the fish bowl and when as a school we reach this line, the whole school will get a special reward! This coming week students are encouraged to focus on those star qualities that are most challenging for us. There is a list of some of the star qualities below.
EARLY DISMISSAL Next Week - Friday, April 16th 12:15 PM
Happy Easter! May the joy of Easter be with you each and every day!
Blessings to you!
