News and Updates from HCS
Christmas Choir Concert - Tuesday, Dec 19

Concert Arrival
  • The Christmas Choir Concert will be Tuesday night, Dec. 19 from 7-8pm. Students need to arrive at 6:40pm. All participating students should put coats in their lockers and report to Mrs. McDonald's classroom/hallway outside Mrs. McDonald's room.

Dress Code
Students should dress up more than they would for a normal day of school or activity in an effort to create a professional mood for the concert. Students' concert dress should also align with the school's dress code guidelines listed in the Handbook's dress code section.

Important: 5th-8th grade students will receive a discipline slip if they do not meet dress code for this performance; for all other students, parents will be notified.
While the choir performance includes 2nd-8th grade students (Heritage Singers and all 4th graders), all families are invited to attend to celebrate the birth of our Savior!
2nd Grade Bake Sale

When the 2nd graders found out that we were not bringing in enough money to cover our Compassion International child (Anani) they decided that they wanted to do something about it. So, they have hosted two bake sales (one at the Thanksgiving lunch and the second one during school this week). They mixed dough, decorated baked goods, designed and created advertisements, announced to classes, ran the table, counted the money, and worked HARD! They are THRILLED to report that because of YOUR support, $300 has been raised and will be given to Anani (the goal was $300 to cover his support for the rest of the year). This is a HUGE BLESSING to Anani, so THANK YOU to everyone that helped make this a beautiful success. God is good!

Elementary Chapel Speakers Needed

We are in need of elementary chapel speakers. If you know of anyone that might be interested please share the information below.

Hi Local Pastors and Youth Leaders,
We want to thank all of you who have volunteered to come speak to our students at Heritage Christian School for chapel in the past and welcome any of those new who would like to join us this year. We are in need of volunteers for our Elementary Chapel. Elementary (PreK-4th) is on Wednesday from 8:30-9:10am and we are looking for speakers to speak 10-15 minutes at chapel on a particular theme and topic. Below is a brief explanation on those themes/topics for each chapel.

Elementary Chapel (Prek-4th): This year at Heritage our theme is Equipped. As we focus on the theme of Equipped, each story will highlight how God has equipped us with the right tools for the job. These accounts are organized under the broad category of tools of scripture, service and prayer. You can focus on the Bible story and how it connects to how God has equipped us with the correct tools. The Bible stories for each date are listed on the following sign-up genius:

Missions - Miss Mysnyk & Anani
 
“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
 
Please pray for:
·        Protection (physical, spiritual, emotional, etc.)
·        Boldness (to share Jesus authentically and powerfully)
·        Peace (people of peace to help share the Good News)
·        Assurance (that God is with them and is for them)
