Busy Week...

Hello Parents,

Wow!  What a week!  God has blessed us in so many ways.  On Tuesday afternoon, a fire broke out in one of our middle school classrooms, an event through which God extended His magnificent hand of protection over our school.  The timing of the fire was a great mercy.  In the first place, it happened after school hours, when most of our students had left for the day.  Also, it happened at a time when several of our staff members were still in the building and could notice and handle the situation before it grew out of control.  Most importantly, everyone remained safe. 

Over the past two days, I have been reflecting on the greatness of our amazing God, who is always protecting us, even in times of trials.  Chris Tomlin’s song “Our God” states the situation perfectly:

Water, You turned into wine

Opened the eyes of the blind

There's no one like You

None like You

Into the darkness, You shine

Out of the ashes we rise

There's no one like You

None like You

Our God is greater

Our God is stronger

God, You are higher than any other

Our God is healer

Awesome in power

Our God….

Because God is all-powerful, He has the ability and strength to do whatever He pleases.  Our God is capable of doing anything.  No task is too big for Him; He never fails!  He protected all of our precious students and our wonderful school during the fire.  Let’s give praise and thanks to our mighty God for His many blessings!

On another note…

Tomorrow is GRANDPARENTS DAY and SPRING SPRINT! We are looking forward to seeing everyone come out to honor our Grandparents. Pictures and Reception begin at 7:30 a.m.; then at 8:30 a.m., we will have a short program in the high school gym for all parents and grandparents. All visitors will need to be in the high school by 8:20 a.m.

Report Cards for 1st-4th grade will be e-mailed out at 3 p.m. tomorrow. (PreK and K report cards will be sent home Monday with your child)

Field Day is coming up next Friday, April 20. This year, the theme is "movies," and our students are super excited!

Talent Show:

Auditions are complete, and the show is set! We have lots of students participating this year. Parents, if you have a child selected to be in the show please, be looking for a note sent home today. The talent show will be on April 26 at 6:30 p.m. This is a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish, and we are asking for a $1 admission fee. All PK-6th grade students will be attending the dress rehearsal on Thursday, and they will not be charged if they come again to the evening show. We are getting close to our goal, and this show is our last chance to help out with the service project! We are very excited to see the wonderful talent these students have to show us!


Just a Reminder

**Don't forget to complete your re-enrollment ONLINE through Parents Web by April 15. 

Requesting a Classroom Teacher - Please Read Carefully

We will be using a NEW process this year for requesting a specific teacher for the next school year. We will be accepting teacher requests during a two-week period, April 16-27. I will try to honor as many requests as possible, but I cannot guarantee that all requests will be granted. Remember that classroom assignments are made based on a variety of important factors, such as overall numbers, gender, class mix, and teacher recommendations. In order for your request to be considered, you need to re-enroll by the April 15 deadline. No request will be accepted after April 27. We love and appreciate all of our families, and I will do my best to honor your requests as much as possible. 

**Email or written requests will be accepted. Thank you! 

A few upcoming dates:


April 20 = Field Day


April 30 = Kindergarten Program @ 6:30 p.m.


May 15 = Kindergarten Graduation @ 8:30 a.m.
