We are having a wonderful week. The teachers and students are working extremely hard as we head into the third week of the semester. On an encouraging side note, in our weekly staff meeting this week, I shared another verse that has struck a cord with me. Hebrews 6:10 says, "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them." We as an EHCS family are constantly encouraging one another, loving one another, and helping one another, which helps us grow together in our relationship with Jesus Christ. God has not forgotten us, but has blessed us tremendously. Now, that is something to smile about!
First, I would like to mention what a wonderful job the young men on our high school basketball team did in our chapel today(see picture under "Eagle News" tab). They set a great example and were amazing role models for our younger students! Charlie Foster led us in song, Ryan Caldwell used his God-given talent to play "Amazing Grace," and Zyion McKinney brought us a wonderful lesson on the Good Shepherd (video to your left). At the end of chapel, we took a few minutes to hand out Perfect Attendance Certificates. Those students who received them have been present every day during the first semester! Way to go, students!
Tomorrow, our 1st-4th graders who made principal's list or honor roll will have "Donuts with the Principal." This is always a wonderful time to celebrate their achievements! I'm always so proud of our students!
Let's mark our calendars for these upcoming events:
This week you all received an e-mail about our first book drive. We are teaming up with Hands on Nashville and Book'em to collect and donate books for children who are less fortunate and cannot afford their own books. Our students can participate by bringing in one or more new or gently-used books. So start going through closets and bookshelves and see what you may have to donate. The drive starts Tuesday, January 17 -January 27th. Our Elementary goal is 400 books! You all are so amazing and willing to help out, and it is a wonderful example for our students! Thank you!!
On January 21, the school and PTO are organizing a school wide work day. There will be more information on what is needed as the date approaches, but go ahead and mark your calendars if you would be willing to help!Our next SPIRIT NIGHT is January 26 at Razz Restaurant. There will be more information, but please go ahead and mark your calendars. Our first spirit night was a big sucess. It was so wonderful to eat and fellowship together while supporting the school that we love! Thank you in advance, and I look forward to the big night!
