Congratulations!

Hi to everyone! There is some good news to share: After 5 weeks of school 5th and 6th Grade has earned their...


That's right you've guessed it: Pizza Party! Students had to exhibit good behavior in chapel, around campus and in the classroom in order to earn scoops of popcorn. Although it has been slow going (talkers and jesters beware...), students were able to fill their two pint jars with popcorn and will have their pizza party this Friday, September 13, 2013. If you would like to send in items to help us celebrate please send enough for 16 people. I have a few suggestions: baby carrots and ranch, apple slices and other fruits or veggies, chips with or without dip, or whatever else you think would be a healthy and fun food. Please do not send in cupcakes or candy for your sakes ;-)

Important News:

ITBS (IOWA Test of Basic Skills) Testing is coming up and will begin this MONDAY, September 16, 2013. We will begin promptly after worship so parents please help us to help your child do well by doing the following:

Get your child(ren) to bed early so that they will be rested for the testing.
Feed them a good breakfast or get them to school early for a good breakfast.
Avoid giving sugar-laden foods and candy as these will not aid in keeping children alert (not to mention healthy).
Encourage your student(s) to give their best effort and to come to you with any concerns they may have about the test.
Pray with your students and give them lots of hugs and support.

Have a good evening!
