October 10th- October 10th is the last day of the quarter. Just a reminder that service projects and Church Attendance Forms are due that day. We sent home forms in your child's folder the first week of school. You can find extra forms on the wall next to the front desk window. I can also send home a form if you are unable to grab it when you walk in. 

Service Projects are a wonderful way for families to work together and share what it means to give back. You can rake a neighbor's yard, bake cookies for firefighters and deliver cards to elderly in a nursing home. Please talk with your student about service, why we do things for others, and how your student felt after serving. You may write the response for your student but have them tell you what they want to write.   Thanks for showing God's love in your community!
