What a wonderful job our amazing 5th grade leaders did at chapel! We are so proud of each one of them for choosing how they would praise God and be a part of worship! Mrs. Barrios and I loved seeing them use their gifts to honor God and be examples for students in the younger grades. 

Our students will be MAPS testing in language arts this week, and making up any testing they need to finish. Encourage your 5th grader to do their best, so we can get an accurate perception of how to teach them skills this year! 

We will be having a field trip to Burris Park on September 25th. Thank you to all of the parents who are willing to drive and chaperone this field trip. We will be leaving school at 8:45, right after out bus evacuation drill, and will be returning to school around 1:30. Students will need to bring a sack lunch/snack, a water bottle, and appropriate clothing for being outside! Please look for more information coming home as we get closer to this field trip.

Friday, September 26th is R.E.D. Friday at Hanford Christian!  R.E.D. stands for Remembering Everyone Deployed, and wearing RED on a Friday helps us be mindful of the deployed and the sacrifices their families make. We have so many amazing military families at Hanford Christian, and we want to thank them and support them! 

On September 26, the entire school is invited to wear the color red to support and remember all people in the military who are deployed. Students will receive a spirit wear coupon for dressing in or wearing red (bandana, socks, pants, anything!).
