Your child's teachers will be sending notes home regarding class participation for this. It would be great if we could fill even more than 5 bags to help House of Hope!
Soccer Shots has begun; the participating children are having a great time! The start of Tech4Kidz computer classes has been postponed until this coming January of 2021. These classes are offered for these age groups: Dolphins, Kangaroos, Giraffes, & Pre-K. During the month of January, Tech4Kidz will offer a FREE demo class to any parent that is interested in this. Please note: you are STILL ABLE to sign your child up for Soccer Shots!! For more details on how to sign up for Soccer Shots or Tech4Kidz, click on the links below.
Our children are creating some fun memories for parents, grandparents, and special people in your lives. Thru Square1Fundraising, their original artwork will be created into momentous pieces for you to purchase as gifts for Christmas or other special memories. More details on this fundraiser will be coming soon! Also, each class is decorating their own pumpkin. These will be on display outside on Friday, October 30, for all parents to see.
Notes have been sent home in the past few weeks letting you know that we are partnering with NCA in a building wide theme for this school year. Our theme for this school year is "Faith Over Fear". Many of you purchased one of our themed t-shirts for your child and/or family members. We have THREE youth small t-shirts left; these are $12 each. Students may wear this shirt any day, but we will have a special Spirit dress emphasis on our “House of Hope” days. If you would like to purchase one of these t-shirts, please let our office staff know.
Chapel Notes:
Each week I like to let you know what we learned in this week's chapel as well as sharing with you the bible verse that your child is learning for this week and next week. Each classroom has 'BLUE' tickets for bible verse memory. Children can earn a red ticket for behavior as well as a blue ticket for memorizing their bible verse each week. When they earn a blue ticket, they will have the opportunity at pick up time to stop by my office and share their bible memory with me as well as choose a prize! This is a great way to help them hide God's word in their hearts at a young age! See your child's teacher or one of our office staff if you have any questions.
We are having chapel on Tuesdays this year. Our big gym is open on Tuesdays so we will be able to social distance in a larger room. Chapel last week was led by the Raccoon class; we learned the story of creation. Each child held a sign displaying what God created on each day. Chapel closed with the Raccoons singing 'Our God is So Big, So Strong & So Mighty'. This week the Owl class led chapel. They taught us about the Father, Son, & the Holy Spirit using the example of the candy corn of three in one. Chapel closed singing the Trinity Song. Next week chapel will be in class due to Vision & Hearing Screening for our Pre-K students. The Giraffe class will lead chapel Tuesday, October 20.
