A Note from Mrs. Kaber: 

I hope everyone had a nice relaxing spring break. Whether you went somewhere or stayed at home with your family, I hope you had time to relax and refresh yourselves. This week is Holy Week. It is one of my favorite weeks to teach. The preparations, heaviness, but also the joy and hope that Easter gives us as Christians and to be able to teach, it is a beautiful thing!  Remember, we will not have chapel on Wednesday. We will have chapel on Maundy Thursday at 8:25 am, then have a Good Friday chapel on Thursday afternoon. We will have indoor pick up and ask that everyone is quiet out of respect. Thank you! 


Grandparents Day: 

April 19: Elementary School - 9:00am-11:30am 

*Students may be signed out with their grandparents to go to lunch. Kindergarten is not participating in the Elementary Operetta. Please let me know if your student will be gone for the remainder of the day. 

Elementary Operetta performances at 1:30pm and 6:00pm

May 24th: After our closing chapel, both kindergarten classes will give a Kindergarten Farewell Program. We will sing songs, give awards, and watch a slideshow of the fun year we had! Afterwards, the students are welcome to play one last time as the year wraps up. There will be more details to come!

In Him,

Mrs. Kaber
