The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph
This year, we are beginning a brand new tradition in Lower School by creating unique grade level end-of-the-year celebrations. These celebrations are in addition to class parties and programs.
Preschool will celebrate with a GLOW Party & Ring Pops Day! Get ready to wear neon colors and dance your heart out while wearing glow bracelets and necklaces as a gift from us! We will also provide glow paint, so your student really shines under the black lights!
Kindergarten will enjoy Donuts, Pj’s, & Movie Day! Our kindergarten students will wear their cutest pj’s and eat donuts in the school cafeteria. They will get to see a little glimpse of what eating in the cafeteria looks like for them as rising first graders! Then, it’s time to go to the Student Center for a movie!
First Grade will celebrate with a Bicycle/Scooter & Popsicle Day! It’s time for them to show off their riding skills! Our first graders will enjoy riding scooters and bikes as we create a safe and fun outdoor experience. We will finish the day with a popsicle treat!
Second Grade will head to our stadium for Inflatables at the Stadium and TCBY Day! We have rented four giant inflatables just for our second graders! What could be more fun than an extra large bounce house, triple sports challenge, 20’ super slide, and a 45’ obstacle course! TCBY will be a welcomed treat after having fun in the sun!
Third Grade will celebrate BIG as we want to acknowledge their hard work and dedication while in Lower School. It’s a Water Day Bash with Kona Ice! Our students will play on two giant water inflatables - a double lap obstacle challenge with a water slide and a 18’ tiki splash! This bash wouldn’t be complete without a visit from a local fire station. They will use their fire truck to create a giant Water Spray with their fire hose. Expect your third grader to get soaked!!!
We hope your child enjoys their special celebration and looks forward to celebrating these traditions for years to come!
Chapel
Our students have enjoyed learning about how to “Live Like a King.”
Please see the message below from Pastor Kami:
For the last four weeks, it was a joy to teach your children that God invites us to “Live Like a King”. They have learned that Jesus is the King of Kings, and in His great love and mercy He allows us to be a part of His royal family by adopting us as His precious sons and daughters. He also encourages us to invite others to join us at the table He has prepared for us. I look forward to teaching your children more about God and His promises next year in Chapel.”

We are excited to celebrate the wide variety of God-given gifts represented in our student body at our Elementary Talent Show on Thursday, May 13th at 6:00 pm in the Student Center located in the Early Learning building.
