Elementary Corner October 2011

Can you believe we are already at the end of the first quarter? We are in the full swing of things! Thank you to all the parents who have scheduled an elementary parent conference. It is so valuable to have a few minutes to honestly communicate with you about your child's strengths and areas where improvements can be made. It is our desire to partner with you in the training of "Christian Leaders Committed to Excellence."

If you have not made an appointment yet, please contact the school office. Conferences are held on Tuesday, October 18th between 8:00 am and 3:30pm. Remember: there is no school for Elementary only on that day. Middle School and High School have a regular day.

The very next day is our first Serve-a-Thon. The elementary students will be participating in a variety of activities on campus to serve others. We will be writing thank you letters to military, fire,and police personnel. We will be baking cookies for them as well. Delegates from each of these service agencies will also be on hand to meet the students and receive our gifts.

Additionally, students will be planting flowers to beautify our campus, and they will be performing some clean-up to spruce the place up! It should be a fun day to focus on serving others!

Finally, we are looking forward to the Harvest Festival on Friday, October 28th from 5:00pm to 9:00pm . This is a great event, organized by our students, to present a safe alternative to Halloween. There will be non-scary costumes, games, food, bounce houses, and much more. This event is open to the community so please invite your family, friends, and neighbors. You can purchase tickets soon before and after school on the front steps. As a reminder, please send candy into your child's classroom for their booth. We also are in need of parent volunteers to work in each classroom booth. Sign up sheets will be located in your child's classroom. Look for more specific information to be coming your way.

Thank you once again for all you do to support the elementary teachers!
