Hello Parents,
We are having a wonderful week! We are off school on Monday in honor of Labor Day. I say, let us celebrate! Why Do We Celebrate Labor Day and give our students a day off of school? I've learned that the original intent of Labor Day was to provide a holiday that would honor the social and economic achievements of American workers. It was intended to be, and in many ways remains, an annual national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well being of our country. We all celebrate this national holiday in different ways. However you decide to celebrate Labor Day, have fun, relax, and take some time away from work to catch up with your family. Fall fast approaches, accompanied by shorter days and increasing responsibilities of our jobs, our kids, and school activities. Three-day weekends don't come along that often – enjoy! I'll be spending some quality time with my family, which means fun times with my daughter Laney. Check out her picture to the right; many of you have not had the chance to meet her. She is quite the character! Remember, we will see you on Tuesday, September 4.
Don't forget about the Fine Arts Academy and all of the opportunities that are there for our students to participate in! You can click on the "Fine Arts" tab for more information.
If you need a place to go, just to see specific upcoming dates; then click on the "Reminder" tab! You can write those dates straight into your calendar, and of course, the "School Wide Calendar" tab has games and everything else listed!
**Also, as activities and field trips come up, there will be new pictures on the blog. I will always let you know when this happens, but it never hurts to look around here for lots of pictures!
ΓΌ Fall Pictures are next THURSDAY, September 6! Come dressed in your school uniform!
A reminder from last week...
Our librarian Mrs. Bebout would like to remind everyone that our students are invited to participate in our Ezell-Harding Christian School “Birthday Book Program.” Parents, grandparents, and friends may purchase a book for our library in honor of a student's birthday. The student's name, birthday, and the donor's name will be inscribed inside the book, which is selected and ordered through the librarian. The birthday student has the opportunity to check out the new book first, before it is placed in general circulation. This is a wonderful way to help our library grow! We hope you all will consider allowing your child to become a lasting part of our library!
Next week is our next HOME football game, against our big rival DCA! We will have several things going on next Friday morning. The cheerleaders will be selling tattoos, the high school girls' basketball team will be selling DONUTS (pre orders need to be made by first thing Wednesday morning, 9/5), and the spirit trailer will be open! Come early and get all the items you need for school spirit and breakfast (I will try to order more donuts this time, but again, pre-ordering is best – just e-mail me)!! It is going to be an exciting day, and I look forward to seeing all my friends at the football game against our big rival DCA!!
Open House is on Tuesday, September 11. Please mark your calendars for this special evening. It is a great opportunity for your children to show you their day-to-day activities. They love showing off their teachers and their work! We are certainly proud of all that they are already accomplishing this year!
**September 15 will be Parents Night Out. The cheerleaders are giving you a night out from 5:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.! The cost will be $15 dollars per child and $25 max per family. More details to come!
**September 20 will be Spirit Night at Angelo's Pizza! More details to come on this event as well!
