I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. Psalm 104:33

VETERAN’S DAY CHAPEL: Mrs. Heather Ball and Mrs. Amy Adkins’ Bible classes were in charge of the Veteran’s Day chapel this year. They did a wonderful job of reminding us to never forget how blessed we are to live in the United States, and to be thankful to have our Veterans who have fought, and are still fighting, for our freedom.

IMPORTANT THANKSGIVING CHAPEL AND THANKSGIVING BREAK INFORMATION: There will be a special Thanksgiving Chapel service on Friday, November 17th. The Chapel will begin at 10:30. All elementary classes will be doing something special on this day. Also, we will be dismissing at noon, due to teacher training.

The school calendar states that we would be in school all day on Monday, November 20th, and would be dismissed at noon on Tuesday, November 21st; however, this schedule has been changed to “Remote Instruction” all day on Monday and Tuesday. No one will be at school on these days.

Students in every grade will receive a packet of work to be completed. Your child will be responsible for the work to be turned in on Monday, November 27.

FRUIT SALE: We hope you are doing a great job selling the fruit. This is delicious fruit, and if you haven’t ordered before, you will not be disappointed. The order forms, along with money, must be returned to school by Monday, November 13th. Remember, we must sell 150 items in order for the fruit company to deliver the items to us.
