The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph
Last week’s Chapel lesson, in our Life Is A Highway series, focused on the Yield sign. The Yield sign reminds us to yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading in our lives. The Big Idea was: Slow Down, Wait A Minute, Listen To The Holy Spirit. Our Power Verse was Galatians 5:25 “....let us follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”
Classroom Highlight
First grade rounded out their Social Studies unit on Patriotism and the History of our Country with an America Day celebration! Students dressed in red, white, and blue, designed their own patriotic flag, and enjoyed singing classic American tunes like God Bless America and The Grand Old Flag. We're proud to be Americans!
