There are mid-week Lenten Services this Wednesday at 5:00 and 7:00 PM. All students will sing in the 2:00 PM Good Friday Service on Friday, April 10. Students will be dismissed after the service. Please read the following encouragement concerning worship services.
Encouragement to Stay for Worship
Worship services are an important part of our school’s educational program, as was explained prior to enrollment. Worshipping is an outflow or response of faith, which we are nurturing through the school, therefore we strongly urge families to attend worship and stay for the whole service when the children come to sing. An additional problem occurs when people leave during the service as it is disruptive to worshippers and can also give the impression that worship is not important; we don’t want that message to be given to the children or other worshippers. Therefore, we ask that families take to heart the encouragement to stay for all of the worship service.

We are going on a field trip to the HP Pavilion on Tuesday, April 7. Please return the permission form and money by this Tuesday, March 31. Thanks!

The nonfiction book report is due Friday, April 10. Please let me know if you have any questions concerning the project details.

Have a great week!
