March 22







 

 










 













 











 





This will be the last blog post (I think) before Spring Break.  I hope you and your family have a wonderful reprieve from the normal routines and schedules during the days of Spring Break.  I pray that you will have time to revel in the glory of our crucified and risen Savior.  I'll look forward to seeing everyone again on April 8!

HOLY WEEK - We will be using our devotions time at school this week to reflect on the death and resurrection of our Savior.

READING AND MATH MINUTE HOMEWORK - We will NOT have reading and math minutes again until after Spring Break (although I strongly encourage LOTS of reading during the down time in the next two weeks!).  

WORD WORK - We will NOT have a word work (spelling) test this coming week.

Kinderparade: It’s time to think about Tulip Time! First through fourth grade families, please complete this form to indicate your family’s preference for costumes during our Kinderparade on Thursday, May 9, please complete this ASAP!

Rose Park (rescheduled) Family Festival: The Fall Family Festival has been rescheduled for Thursday, April 18 from 5:30-7.
