Chapel Moments
It was another great week in chapel as Mrs. Duncan continued our "Camp Wilderness" series learning all about what it means to follow God even when the path gets tough! In last week's lesson, the students learned that we've all sinned, messed up and failed God. Through the story of Aaron and the "(Not So) Holy Cow", students learned that our God is a God of second chances. When we are humble and repent, God is faithful to forgive, restore our broken lives, and make us whole again!
Main Focus: God can restore you when you fail!
Power Verse: “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:9
Whatchagaddaknow: “God Will Give You A Second Chance!”

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.
Accessing your child's class information weekly:
Login to your Blackbaud account and select your child's name under "Children".
Find your child's homeroom class under the "Progress" tab by scrolling down to where classes are listed.
After selecting the homeroom class, you will see the teacher's main class page where you will locate upcoming dates, class reminders and news.
Select the "Topics" tab to see specific information for each individual subject. Within each subject folder, you will see a plan for the week and upcoming projects and test information.
The "Topics" pages update each Sunday evening at 5pm and will remain current until the following Sunday evening.
