Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in

heaven and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

Deuteronomy 4:39

THANKSGIVING CHAPEL: We will have a combined (elementary and secondary) Thanksgiving Chapel on Friday, November 22nd at 9:00 a.m. Every class will be doing something special.

IMPORTANT THANKSGIVING BREAK INFORMATION: The School Calendar states that for our Thanksgiving break, we would be in school all day on Monday, November 25th, and would be dismissed at noon on Tuesday, November 26th. This schedule has been changed to “Remote Instruction.” No one will be at school on these two days.

Students in every grade will receive a packet of work to be completed. Your child will be responsible for the work to have been completed when we return to school on Monday, December 2nd.

In order to make up time lost on Friday, November 8, 2024, due to school cancellation, the packets will be sent home next week for remote instruction during Thanksgiving week and will include work for 2 full days instead of 1 1/2 days originally planned. The packets are to be completed on Monday, November 25th and Tuesday, November 26th and returned completed on Monday, December 2, 2024.
