Veterans Day Celebration
Please join us next Thursday for our Annual Veterans Day Celebration! We are thankful for our veterans, and we look forward to honoring them. The event's prelude will begin at 9:45am and the event will conclude by 11:15am. This is a full day of school so students will have school in the afternoon.
Feel free to spread the word to your friends and neighbors so that we can once again celebrate and honor the brave men and women that have served our country.
There's still a couple of spots to fill on our Veterans Day Signup Genius. Feel free to take a look and see if you can help make the event run smoothly!

All School Thanksgiving Lunch
Friday, November 19th, will be our annual All School Thanksgiving Day Lunch. Again this year we'll have an opportunity for the entire school community to come together at the same time to give thanks through worship, eating, and fellowship. We look forward to spending time acknowledging together how God has blessed us as individuals, families, and a school.
Parents and grandparents, you are encouraged to arrive at school by 11:20am to join your child(ren) in the gymnasium for chapel, beginning at 11:30am. Following chapel, we will enjoy lunch "picnic-style" on the gym floor at 12:00pm. Recess will follow outside from 12:30-1:00pm.

What Happened in Chapel This Week?
This week we kicked off a new chapel theme for the month of November - Word Appliers. A Word Applier incorporates the truth of God’s story and applies Scripture into all areas of their lives. Our hope is that as students explore the world around them, learn about, and encounter new ideas, that their lives are informed by an understanding of the Bible and that God’s Word, and the application of it, informs every decision they make.
This week, Paul Smith (Mrs. Smith’s husband) shared with PreK-4th grade students that just like we need instructions to fix complex machines or use technical equipment, God gives us instructions in the Bible for how we should live our lives, care for others, and share God’s love with the world. We’re looking forward to continuing to explore this theme the rest of the month in chapel. Would you please pray with us that God would use the messages our students hear in chapel and the discussions they hear in Bible and devotions to build them up and apply His Word to every aspect of their lives.
