LOGIC SCHOOL'S LIFE SCIENCE CLASS...COMES TO LIFE!

Students in sixth grade Life Science have been spending some time "getting to know" birds this quarter. The students began by exploring the anatomy of the egg to determine how God designed the egg to support and grow life, by studying the interior of eggs straight from the grocery store. Students then discovered how to properly incubate their own eggs, which they creatively named, and identified what would be developing inside their egg during each day of incubation.

During the incubation process, we observed what was happening inside the egg through candling. When we returned from Spring Break, they were excited to see pictures of the chicks laboring to hatch and soon after were able to meet and interact with their new furry friends. Students have been observing the growth of the chicks and will continue to do so. What an exciting experience this has been!
FATHER-DAUGHTER DANCE

Thanks to our volunteers and all who supported the Class of 2023 and came to the Father-Daughter Dance this weekend! A great time was had by all... many great memories to cherish forever!

Congratulations to Mr. Mark Thompson and Caroline Thompson on winning the dance contest, Jessie and Michael Sultenfuss on winning second place, and Hazel and Brad Bullock on winning the costume contest!

GRANDPARENTS' DAY

We are so excited to have our grandparents back on campus with us on April 22, 2022, for our annual Grandparents' Day program!

Parents, we need your help with 2 things:

  • If you have not done so already, please forward this link to all grandparents (or a designated stand-in) so they can RSVP for this event. If easier, you are welcome to sign grandparents up instead of forwarding the form to them. 

  • Additionally, if you would like to help us prepare for this beloved event, please click here to sign-up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Please keep in mind that cars should not pass around other cars during carline. PIease wait until students unload/load into their vehicles. Thank you!
  • If you ordered your child Hot Lunch from Strictly Wings, we are still able to fulfill the same menu items, but are having them provided by Black Bear Pizza, due to Strictly Wings having a fire earlier this month.
