3rd Grade Chapel Program
|
 On Wednesday, December 10th, our third grade presented "Angel Alert" in the auditorium. The program carried us behind the scenes of what was happening in the angel world  the night of the first Christmas. It was a true blessing as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. The students have been working diligently preparing for the program. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and left with a song in their hearts and a true message from God's Word presented by our third graders.

Preschool Christmas Pageant
|
Our 3K and 4K classes kicked off our Christmas season with our annual Preschool Christmas Pageant on Wednesday, December 4th. This program is a wonderful way to remember the true reason for the season as we celebrate our Savior's birth. The students presented wonderful songs of the season as shepherds, wise men, angels, and of course Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus presented the true story of Christmas. It is a delightful way to start this holiday season!

'Tis the Season...for lost things! With our 40 degree mornings and 75 degree afternoons it seems that our children forget they even brought a jacket to school. This means that our Lost and Found box on the breezeway is getting full! Please be sure to check our red and black Lost and Found box outside of Coach Cole's office for any items you may be missing so far this year. Please be sure to check before December 17th as we will be donating any items after that date to the James 215 project for those in need.

All On-Line Courses must be finished by Christmas Break. If students are doing FLVS classes, the first segment must be 100% completed by Christmas Break. If students are doing Ignitia classes, they are required to have at least half (50%) of the course completed. In most cases this would be through Unit 5, sometimes 6 if there are 12 units total. If not completed, an "F" will be recorded for report card or transcript purposes.
