Early Learning Thanksgiving Celebrations

Mark Your Calendar! Our preschool and kindergarten students will celebrate the Thanksgiving season on Friday, November 18th. Preschool students will have a Thanksgiving program followed by a party. Kindergarten students will celebrate with a Thanksgiving party in their classroom, but do not have a program. Parents are invited to both events. More details soon on the specific time of your child’s event. We hope to see you there!

Last Week In Chapel

We are beginning a new series in Chapel called “Never Forget.” Did you know that the word remember is in the Bible 240x’s? Because God knows how easily and quickly we forget things, He’s continually telling us to remember. Pastor Kami taught our kids that “It’s Never Too Late for a Miracle” as they discussed the story of Jesus raising a widow’s only son from the dead in Luke 7. 

Power Verse: “Be still, and know that I am God!” Psalm 46:10

Our friends Kevin and Riley led us in worship to the song “God is in This Story,” which reminds us that Jesus sees us, even when we are in the worst moments. And no matter how bad things seem, it’s never too late for God to perform a miracle!

Christmas Extravaganza Event

Save The Date! Our Lower School Christmas Extravaganza event will be Thursday, December 15th from 6:00-9:00pm. This is a highlight of the year that includes musical programs and Christmas themed family festivities. More details to come as the event draws near!

Staying Informed and Up-to-date with Classroom Happenings

To stay informed of what’s happening in your child’s classroom, please login into Blackbaud weekly. You will be able to see information such as weekly classroom announcements, upcoming events, weekly academic focus, grades, attendance, etc. This is the key to staying informed and replaces hardcopy newsletters. I encourage you to login each week. Information will be updated each Sunday at 5pm.
