Thank you to our sweet volunteers who are coming into our classroom! If you would like to volunteer, please let me know! I would love to have volunteers during our center times from 10:00-11:30 daily. Please let the office know if you would like to volunteer at any capacity on our campus. They will give you a background check first, and then will let me know when you can come into our classroom to volunteer! Thank you so much for your sweet offers to help our class already!

Memory Verse
MEMORY VERSE:
"The Lord had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people, and your Father's household to the land I will show you."
Genesis 12:1
A test will be given on Friday, September 19 to see how well your student can remember this verse. This will be placed in the Gradebook. Remembering God's Word helps us in so many areas of life. I will help your student remember the words with actions and guidance, during the test. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Please continue to discuss the school wide memory verse: Jeremiah 9:23-24 with your child. We will continue to have discussions about this verse in class too.
