THIS MAILING WILL BE IN PAPER FORM & INCLUDE EMERGENCY CARE FORMS, SUPPLY BILLS, YEARLY CALENDAR AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Thanks for a wonderful year!!!

May all that is Good Shine upon You!

Long warm days...
The pace of life slows...
A time for picnics and rest in the shade...

Lord,
help me to rest awhile in the cooling shade of your presence.
Slow down my restless heart and fill me with gentle compassion for all your people.

Amen.

Fun Run

A huge thanks to Ms. Cisco for this wonderful event.  We realized a profit of $2100.  Thank you to all who participated.  Congratulations to our 1^st graders for raising the most money as a class. They will receive a pizza lunch from Ms. Cisco.

Family Business List

In an effort to support one another in these tough economic times, the Educational Council has suggested that we, as a school community compile a list of services that our families offer.  In this way, our families will have a resource on hand if the need arises.  For example, one of our families may need a new roof- they can use this guide and perhaps call one of the families that has a roofing business.  If you are interested in being a part of this resource, please email with your contact information.
