Last Week In Chapel

We had a great time in Chapel this week as Mrs. Moore taught the last lesson in our series titled, The Rock. In last week’s lesson, the students learned how to handle conflict in a way that is pleasing to God. We discussed the importance of seeking God's direction as a guide when we experience conflicts. God provides a plan for handling conflict if we turn to Him through prayer and by reading scripture. 

Whatchagaddaknow: “I Need to Handle Disagreements the Bible Way!”

Power Verse: “Do everything without complaining and arguing...” Philippians 2:14

Early Learning Easter Celebrations

We are looking forward to celebrating Easter with our early learning classes on Wednesday, March 27 (K3 classes and 3 day K4) and Thursday, March 28 (K4 and K5 classes). Each class will participate in an Easter egg hunt and a class party. Parents are welcome to join us for this fun celebration! Your child's teacher will communicate details and specific times.

Optional House Color T-shirts

We have had several parents request the option to purchase House shirts to wear on House Color Days. We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Graceful Peach Boutique to offer shirts for Robinson, Elliot, and Lewis houses! Check out the link below and order your optional shirt today if you are looking for something to wear on House Color Day.  

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.
