From the Tiger Paws Tent Committee: The OC Tulip Festival is just 7 weeks away and we are working on the final details for the upcoming fundraiser! There's going to be a lot of important dates and information coming in the Tiger Paws emails from the Tulip Festival committees. Please watch for those announcements on the Tiger Paws emails every Wednesday because this fundraiser involves every OCCS parent at some point. We can't make it work without your help!

Mentor Moms: Please take some time this week and touch base with your OCCS families and explain their responsibilities in this upcoming fundraiser. From making pig-in-the-blankets to picking work shifts in the tent. This can be overwhelming for new OCCS parents. We encourage you to lend a helping hand!

Thank you!

Thank you from the staff for all the snack items brought in last week. We felt very appreciated and are thankful for the time you took to make food or to come in to deliver food. We are so blessed by the OCCS community!

Please join us in prayer this month of March for:

• 6th grade teachers: Mr. Hilbelink and Mrs. Oordt and Teacher aides: Mr. Van Marel 
• Nurse: Mrs. De Groot
• Librarian: Mrs. Wielenga

• Prayers of Adoration: Praise Adonai! From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same!
• Prayers of Confession: We confess you are good, true goodness and we are far from that place
• Prayers of Thanksgiving: We thank you for the changing of seasons, for the longer days of sunlight, for the promise of spring.
• Prayers of Supplication: Wash over us and create in us a clean heart and hands of service to bless others
